I'm a pretty large guy -- well, maybe fat.

And I "volunteered" to do some aerial photography (photography is a big hobby of mine) for a non profit project. I wound up in a tiny Cessna trainer and pretty much was going "steady" with the pilot by the time we landed. I mean, I literally was sitting on top of him.

The scariest part was leaning out the window to take pictures. No way in hell did that seatbelt fit me and that little door was held closed by a latch that looked like it was a paper clip in its former life. I had to change my underwear by the time we landed.
