I Have a Fear of Flying

About to board a plane. I am so scared.

Years ago, my boyfriend was too terrified of airplanes to fly. But he drove an ancient VW bug on the LA freeways nearly every day. And he smoked a pack a day of Marlboros.

He died at the age of 47. And it sure wasn't in a plane crash. The Marlboros got him.

Planes are meant to fly, they fly themselves, and are self correcting. The pilot just points the thing in the right direction. If you're in an a little Embraer or Saab relax those things are built amazingly well.

@terarohana: I'm a little envious of you. Enjoy your trip.

Every airplane that is certified to fly (that is, all of them, really) are built amazingly well... Excepts perhaps Russian and Chinese airplanes, somehow... But if you're flying in North America or Western Europe is very unlikely you'll be in a Russian or Chinese airplane, it's probably a Boeing or an Airbus (if it's a jet airliner), that's state of the art...
Close your eyes and imagine you're the plane, flying peacefully through the clouds without any harm coming your way. That, or grow a spine and get over your fear.

It's not scary as I thought it would be when I flew the first time. Hopefully that helps. :)

Flying is awesome, It's landing that is the hard part. Aviation is actually incredibly safe.

@dreamaway: Haha, yes, I thinks that's the main reason people fear flying: they're constrained, they can't get out, a bit like claustrophobia I guess...
dreamaway · F
@wyndwhisper:yeah. I feel trapped

When you use the restroom, it's kinda satisfying if you know you are over an area you've had a bad time in or just don't like.
