make me feel better about flying

[Kype]

i was told today i need to fly to chicago for work training. i only flew once to florida as a kid. havent been on an airplane in over 25 years.

i will admit and not affraid to. i dont get how something that big gets in the air. and to be honest im freaking out over here about doing it. second week in march i need to go for a one week training class. 

whenever i needed to go somewhere far i just drove. not an option here.

You might not die.

The actual flying is fun....The airport process; the boarding process and the clostphobic seating sucks

Don't laugh 3Blade, this is serious.  I flew once and I didn't die.

This will not make any difference because this type of fear will s not rational but you drive every single day and you are by far more likely die in your car on the way to the airport than in flight

Or should I say don’t worry you will most likely die on the way to the airport so you will not have to fly

If you do die can I have your firewood?

Just for a few seconds … when we get up a couple thousand feet or something … I look out the window and think WTF am I doing in this thin,  aluminum cigar case.

I feel your pain. My oldest son just bought a house in Hawaii and has a huge list of work projects for me to do. Only problem is, I hate to fly and it's a 13 hour direct flight then, i have to take a smaller plane to get to his island.

After flying for the Navy for 8 years and then for TWA for 30 years, I can assure you flying is much safer than driving.  Sit back, relax and enjoy it!!!!!!!!!

The only thing that scares me about flying is you have no idea what freak or weirdo may get seated next to you

I always get the kid who kicks the back of my seat.

Instead of buying a plane ticket all the way to Hawaii, send him a check and the name of a local contractor!😁

Xanax and a drink will erase all fears of flying.
