Fear of flying (and heights in general)

[AtW]

Anyone has it? I do

I less than 2 weeks I will take 2 British Airways flights and 2 local Russian flights

I'd rather race in F1 without helmet and seat belt in my PUG 307

Safer than driving.

Can I have your hard disks if you die?

It's not flying you should worry about... it's crashing.

HTH

I want to go like my uncle. My uncle died peacefully in his sleep.

Unlike the 300 passengers on the Airbus he was piloting.

Not for you its not.

Oi, don't bash my confidence!

I realised in my rush to post I had it the wrong way round.

It ain't the height that kills ya. It's the ground.

What really annoys me in airplanes is that as soon as they take off they take rather serious angle left or right to turn plane, ffs, can't they want to gain a little bit more height before doing this?

It's only the first 30 seconds you need to worry about - the most dangerous part of the flight.

Oh - and landing.

And turbulence, and low pressure areas, electrical storms, mechanical failure, decompression, fire, fuel leakage, shear, bird strikes, terrorists, bombs, missiles, other planes, dozy traffic controllers, hijackers...
