I've always been a lefty. While growing up, my grandparents would constantly take things like forks, pencils, crayons out of my left hand and place them in my right hand. Never worked.

I'm way right-brained and left-handed.
 
First born out of two, and yep I'm left handed. I've heard left handed people tend to be more artistic, which is true for me as I originally was going to be a commercial artist before I went nuts. Also, I too am afraid of heights. However, I am getting better about that one as I have taken a real liking to mountain climbing and it has caused me to confront my fear of heights, which is making it less of a problem for me.

OK...I want to know how Lead Sled got enough pull around here to enable the poll feature again?

Wasn't that a banned feature a while back?

Good work Lead Sled!
I threatened them - I told them that I'd go back to using my old avatar. :D

Besides, this will now be able to be used as a meaningful interview question. If you're not a lefty and/or the eldest child and afraid of heights then you couldn't possibly be a good pilot. :eek:

I think that there are some guys on this forum that are even now practicing with their left hand and figuring out a way to off their older brothers. Anything to get that PFT King Air copilot job.

I though maybe you threatened them with a picture of HMR's feet...
 
I heard somewhere that most pilots are attracted to jobs that require lots of skill and experence but pay next to nothing and work you to death, is there any truth to that?
 
Second born, right handed (although I do drink lefty), not wild about climbing ladders. This may have something to do with sliding off the fuselage of a KC-135 when I was a young 'un.

Here's another poll subject:
Is your second toe longer than your big toe?
 
Only child, terrified of heights when there is a perspective involved (like ladders, buildings, Grand Canyon, etc.), okay in airplanes, claustrophobic, right handed-I can drink with both hands.
 
First born (only child), left handed.

My father, who flew A3 Skywarriors in the Navy and afterwards was a life-long recreational pilot, was the firstborn of five and the only one who was left-handed.
 
Second child and right handed.
Can't hit a barn at 50 paces shooting right handed so I shoot left handed:uzi:
As a child couldn't even change a light bulb standing on a kitchen chair.
Still feel a little uncomfortable @ 12,000' in a high wing airplane.
 
First born, right handed and can't stand fire escapes, rooftops, tall ladders etc. Once I strap wings on, I'm fine, walking around at launch looking down at the streamers used to really creep me out though.
