Pilots take no special joy in walking: pilots like flying.
Gliders, sail planes, they're wonderful flying machines. It's the closest you can come to being a bird.

Every flying machine has its own unique characteristics, some good, some not so good. Pilots naturally fly the craft in such a manner as to take advantage of its good characteristics and avoid the areas where it is not so good.
