Jay;

I do not have a fear of heights but avoid heck-a copters (as Red Skelton would say) like the plague! I had too many friends killed on them.

>I'm great in an airplane. I'm ok on a ladder up to about 25 feet. Ferris wheels can make me freeze-up and - if I'm pretty sure nobody will notice - cry like a little schoolgirl. I'm supposed to go on a helicopter tour around Manhatten in October and wondered if anyone who wasn't thrilled with heights had ever done this and what they thought about it. Go ahead, make fun of me - I'm man enough to take it.
