Just the other day a friend of mine who had been learning how to fly an airplane was able to solo (fly with no one else in the plane with you) for the first time. Well, shortly after he took off, his nose started bleeding. Twas due to all the dust & smoke and whatnot drying out his sinuses (We're in a drought down here in GA). He got blood all over his shirt because he couldn't pinch it to stop the bleeding; he had to circle the airport right quick and land.
30 minutes later, (after he got the bleeding stopped) he went back up again and this time the flight was eventless.
I've had my nose to start bleeding a time or two while driving, but I hope I'll never have a tale to tell like my friend had.
