When I was younger, I was convinced that I wasn't afraid of heights.  I worked in construction and climbing ladders, walking on the top plates of framed walls, scaffolding, roofs, etc I was never bothered by being high up off the ground.  I never had the occasion to be that high up, but believed I was capable.  I realize now that not only am I not capable of that now, I likely never was, when I was 20, either.

reminds me of my younger days.  I flew a powered paraglider for 15 years and have flown over towers similar to that.
Whenever I'd fly just over the top of it, I'd get nervous like I do when I'm standing on a roof or other structure.
But not when I was flying any other time.
Weird.
