“I wanted to say, 'Wait—I am not sure I want to do this—I don’t know if I am ready.' I turned my head and saw him climb onto the wing and hop down onto the pavement. He didn’t give me a chance to tell him I hadn’t decided yet whether or not I was going to solo. Didn’t he know I wasn’t a real aviator? I was only a doctor, after all, and doctors weren’t required to solo.
It was too late to tell him anything. I was going flying." (Page 199)”
David B. Crawley, Steep Turn: A Physician's Journey from Clinic to Cockpit
