Never a strong feeling either way, but now at this age I am more comfortable being the passenger than in the past.
I am reminded of when my late wife and I were in New Zealand and took a tour in a small airplane from Christchurch down tot he Milford Sound and back. The other couple with us was a vacationing airline pilot and his wife, who was a former stewardess. He was having anxiety attacks the entire way. I commented that I thought he would be comfortable flying, and he said "when I am at the controls". I pointed out that if something when wrong., this plane could glide to a landing whereas those he flew would fall like a rock.
