If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious shit...

I HATE flying.
I've read a book designed to help fear of flying but im sure it made me worse. My boyfriends brother is a pilot even talking to him cant calm me. I become totally irrational.
It's taking off and landing that gets me... coming in from Spain this year i put my top over my head like a little kid, it somehow helped.
I must look like a right retard on flights.

Is that the Erica Jong novel in which she invents the zipless fuck? |

On one plane trip I actually convinced myself it was going to crash... I've not been bothered ever since.
I hate airports... I was in this tiny hell-hole of an airport in Bergerac once and I got to passport checks and a woman quickly guided me away and into this horrible room with two guys in looking angry... I'm thinking it's time to stop worrying and love the rubber glove treatment while they emptied my luggage (which was perfectly folded!) and searched me... I'm soiling myself by this point.
Eventually they ask me what my music speakers were and went back to their clipboard... I stood against a wall for what felt like an eternity until they look at me with a "why are you still here" look upon their faces.
It wasn't fun.

It's natural to be scared, bombing around a few thousand feet from the ground inside an enclosed metal capsule, don't listen to anybody who says otherwise. It's mass social engineering at it's worse. If they can persuade you not to worry about that then they've got too much control over your emotions, what else are they capable of making you feel?
Saying that, I've never been too bothered about flying.

No one ever died from flying, it's the crashing bit that causes problems, so as long as it's flying why worry?

I used to be terrified of flying, my parents booked me a flight to America this year and i refused to go just the thought of stepping onto a plane would make me panic, but then the week before i thought why miss out on two weeks holiday. So i got some tablets from the doctors which stop you feeling any movement. Basically i used to feel every bump and every little movement and after my first ever flight being very very bumping and my dad having flown hundreds of times saying it was the worst flight he'd ever been on i ended up terrified of every little movement or shake, and i used to sure the plane was going to crash, but with the tablets i didn't feel any of that, so i didn't have to worry. You basically have to think, it's a means to get somewhere, i find taking a laptop really helps because it's a bigger screen than the ones of the plane, and you can take your own movies and with sound isolating headphones you don't hear any of the plane noises or anyone around you, and just forget about being on the plane. And i can honestly say after getting the tablets and having the laptop to watch i can't wait to go on my next flight!!!

I hate flying - for about a million different reasons - I always wear "proper" shoes on flights never flip flops or anything cause I always think that if you landed on like a desert island or something you might need to walk over rocks etc??
One thing you would NEVER EVER get me into is a helicopter - I HATE them

I don't like flying, but it's more to do with my fear of heights... just the thought of being that high scares the life out of me!
