…is being able to (at least somewhat) accurately determine the direction and altitude of the plane from your fixed location on the ground. Making sure the plane is lined-up to land must be a bit of a trick.

If I were driving a race car around a track while standing on a podium in the middle, I'm pretty sure I'd crash into anything and everything.

One of my dad's engineering friends had a whole stable of scale model planes that he built himself and he'd take them out to fly every now and then with my dad and me. I was always too young to take control, though, which I found to be frustrating. Maybe it's easier than I'm picturing it, though.
