I always think the plane will crash into the terminal. And just when, exactly, has that ever happened? They fall into rivers and lakes and peoples houses. They crash into each other. They never crash into the terminal. And yet - I am terrified. <br /><br />Glad to know others have flying fears, albeit of a different flavor, as well. <br /><br />Welcome home.FloridaFlamingohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18067940633957681264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8880479187775375578.post-36756351714849498492010-03-15T21:14:47.190-04:002010-03-15T21:14:47.190-04:00Oh, dear, me too.

I'm absolutely petrified that every time I meet an actual pilot, I grill him/her about certain noises, practices, stats, etc. I disagree with Ian; I've been trying to tell myself that for nearly a decade now, and I (though not recently) fly quite often. I don't think I'll ever get over how horrifying flying is!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8880479187775375578.post-5749085875964619542010-03-15T16:18:23.996-04:002010-03-15T16:18:23.996-04:00thanks...a lot!thanks...a lot!Paulitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12464307150561226813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8880479187775375578.post-56838758798699581902010-03-14T16:04:27.615-04:002010-03-14T16:04:27.615-04:00For god sakes, would you just hurry up and write a...For god sakes, would you just hurry up and write a book already...

I really enjoyed reading that -- ...That was great! I really enjoyed reading that -- because of your writing, not your suffering -- just to be clear. <br /><br />Before I went to USMC boot camp, I kept telling myself that THOUSANDS of people complete this successfully EVERY YEAR. That made me feel better about my chances of success.<br /><br />Maybe you should think about the MILLIONS of people that fly EVERY YEAR and are bored to tears by the experience -- and have no fear. The only difference is that they (i.e. we) have done it more often. So, ask yourself - if they are so relaxed, shouldn't I be relaxed? Maybe you can psychologically make the leap to share their perspective.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02220298743799104268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8880479187775375578.post-64910547304454596312010-03-13T10:53:29.312-05:002010-03-13T10:53:29.312-05:00I'm sorry baby.
