      My choice is that I want to overcome this fear. What is in your mind when the plane is shaking??

        Well, either you grab your fear by the horns, or stay out of flying vehicles. It's your choice. ;P

        I guess we shouldn't mention that it is the difference in air pressure of just a few inches that provides the lift that keeps an airplane in the air [^] :~ Steve

          No I love it. Would it not be for my right eye, I would have been a pilot (Indeed, I managed 8th place at the admission of the french army, but they detected the problem at the eye ). Flying is great, I love it, I find turbulences GREAT (I love when the plane shakes, and the people that are letting footprints in their seats make me laugh (I find it funny, I do not make fun of them, though, do not get me wrong). [Do not read that if you are afraid of plane].What I am still afraid of is landing on a wet track, when the plane sometimes just slip on the water for a few milliseconds. This is the most critical part of the landing, if something happens at this time nobody can do anything (nor pilot neither board computer).[end] My advice : go and try flying by yourself. Most of people fear of flight comes from the fact that: - they do not have the knowledge for piloting the plane themselves, so if something happens to the pilot, nobody can take control - you cannot just stop in the air if smoke comes out of somewhere. For the second part, you'll just have to live with it. For the first part, once you'll see how easy it is to fly a plane (at least the small ones - took me 8 hours practice back when I was 17 to be able to fly alone), you'll change your mind about this "huge machine full of electronics that only extraordinary human beings are able to handle.". Myth of the pilot is a myth, driving a bus in the center of Rome is much more difficult than flying a Paris-New York 747. ~RaGE();

            Well, don't fear it. You don't have to worry, they all come down. And if a plane drops you have a good chance that no other one will survive you. I hope, that I washed all your worries away. :wtf: ------------------------------ PROST Roleplaying Game War doesn't determine who's right. War determines who's left.

                Dont worry. The plane can take a hell of a lot more g-force than that. Planes are strong, well designed, and provided they are well maintained, very, very safe. Just strap in and enjoy the ride! Nunc est bibendum

                                  No, I love to fly. I even like airline food. If you are afraid of flying then ask the person next to you if they don't mind you talking to them during the rough bits. Channel your nervousness into talk. Hopefully the person sitting next to you is compassionate and will listen. regards, Paul Watson Ireland FeedHenry needs you

                                          As a private pilot, I should probably say no, im not afraid of flight. However, one thing I know is that the day im not scared shitless of flying is the day i'll probably make a mistake and crash!
