Chances are, you'll just pass out from the fast descent 
More people die in car crashes every day than in plane crashes not afraid of flying at all.

I don't mind flying at all for 99.9999% of the flight. But there's that one split second just after you've taken off and it feels like you're 'hanging' for a second and going too slow to remain airborne....it makes me feel uneasy.

I have never been on an airplane. One reason being that my family never had the money and the other reason is that I'm scared to death to get on one. I don't care about the statistics. I fel just like that Alanis Morisstte(sp?) song. The first time I get on a plane is the last etc

See, I love it too, once I actually get in the air. It's just the taxiing and taking off I don't like. I love it once I am up there, as long as I don't let myself think about how far off the ground I am. And I constantly worry also when someone I care about has to fly. I'm always anxious to hear they made it okay.

I have a pilot license Me & my friend used to have a plane.
Taking off is the 2nd greatest thrill, Landing is the first.
We have a saying" Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing, but any landing where you can re-use the plane is a great landing!"

i'm not scared at all...........i just hate sitting in the one position for so damn long. Living in Australia you don't have much option but to fly.
Just recently i had a 30 hour flight from Spain to Sydney via Frankfurt and Singapore...........the flight seemed endless.

Not too hot Brad , I'm still wastin my time on muscle boards despite the fact I face an exam worth an immediate $20000 in salary increase in 3 weeks! Motivation low man , on the plus side I blasted through 170kgs (374lbs) for 10 on squats ass to floor yesterday , it's all mental - I saw these two old guys doing half squats with 200kgs and I surmised that it wasnt really that heavy - when you're the only guy in the gym using decent weight in the squat it creates a mental barrier i think , hopefully I'll get the exams and maybe change gyms , how's things going with that cage you bought ? Man if I had a cage I'd attempt 400lbs in the squat every fuckin week , even the rack in the gym is shit here , at least the one in Ireland had safety bars....biteme said:
How's urself man , I saw u on IM lately but said fuck it no , I better go study , I have a few issues with a source right now outstanding so I'm waiting for some mods to come through with help.
That's about all the news from my side of the pond , how about you man?

Flying totally freaks me out.. Only flown about 6 or 7 times and I hated every minute of it.. before 9/11 I could handle.. Maybe cause I was at wtc on that day it bugs me out.. Its so hard for me and I hate because so much in world and only way to get there is fly... Last time I flew nyc to fl and I paniced on the way back.. Take off and landing i just freak.. when in air I just have this feeling i want to be off the plane and I pray for it to be over. I dont understand because the first few tiems I loved flying!! I havent been able to handle anything longer that like 5 hours flying.. I dont know what I am going do when I have to fly like 8 or more hours.. anyone help suggest?

I dont like the discomfort, the flying itself is cool
I like the take off, it's the landing part that freaks me out. Especially if you're landing on a small island.. you're descending..all you see is water...getting lower...still water.. and right when you're certain you're crashing into the ocean you're over land and hit the runway.. geez! 
My nerves.
It also feels weird being in the very back during take off ..when the front part of the plane is already in the air but the back wheels are on the ground. Makes me feel like a fatass.
Cannot get off ground, too many fatties in the back.

Comparing plane and car trips based on number of miles you are much less likely to die in a plane crash than in a car crash... but if you take it on a number basis as in number of flight trips ending in fatal crashes compared to number of car trips ending in fatal crashes you are more likely to die on a plane.
All that said- it's so completely inconvenient to fly, and the risk of crashing is so minimal, that it simply makes no sense not to. So, don't be a pussy.
