Typing on a keyboard is not natural for humans, and yet here I am doing just that, having gotten here in unnatural ways: by car, train, and bicycle. I don't think flying is any more unnatural than any of the myriad things that we do each day.

You must fly regularly or your license will be suspended. A large part of instrument flying training is teaching you to ignore what your body is telling you and trust the instruments. (My father was a flight instructor for the Air Force. When JFK Jr crashed, the first thing he said was "spacial disorientation". Weeks later, that was the conclusion of the investigation.)
