Are you afraid of flying?

Are you afraid of flying?

I've always been fascinated with planes and I used to be really into Flight Simulator several years ago. I'd go as far as to say that I've even considered being a pilot a future career I might pursue.

However I do have to say thinking about plane crashes (Curtsy of the TV show Mayday), terrorism and especially what happened in 9/11 does scare me--despite how little the chances of such things occurring.

I'v only flown once and I was ok. If I went in a plane again I would probably be a little nervous - but that's about it :)

Although all the incidents I see and terrorism, I believe that if it happens it happens you cannot be scared of it because if it's your time to go it's your time to go! In regards to pursuing a career in aviation, being a student pilot myself, I believe it is an excellent idea! I remember the first time I took the controls to lift her off the runway, such an amazing feeling to be leaving everything on the ground and taking this small aircraft into the air - to this day I still have the 'Wow' feeling!

[Jordan]

No, I'm not afraid, and I was the same with David. I have been fascinated with flying, and yes I've thought about becoming a pilot too, lalalala

[Deak]

I'm fine with when were in the air but... i do get a lil worried about is when were takin off or landing... Once up in the air i love it ;)

[Richie]

No I love it

[Meanies]

never flown so i dont know|-)

[Nixt]

In all honesty I wish it did scare me, flying is so mind numbingly boring it would make things a little more interesting. Couldn't care less about flying tbh - more likely to die on the way to the airport than on the plane and all that jazz.

[Jamesy]

Nope, the only bit I tense up in in is where the plane reaches the correct altitude and it feels like its falling momentarily.

[Inseriousity.]

No not scared of flying but the popped ears is a pain in the backside :(
I agree with eddie anyways, if it happens, it happens, you're not going to be able to do anything about it if some nutter wants to hijack a plane or a pilot loses control. I'll stick my head between my legs and kiss my arse goodbye! :D

[Narnat,]

D: I clicked im not scared by an accident. I am pretty scared because I watch all those crashing investigation things. My mum and dad paid for mine and my sisters holiday to spain and I pulled out because I didn't want to fly so I wriggled my way out of it and ended up going camping with the cadets in the poring rain.. it was good tho. BUT anyway yeah I'm scared.

[buttons]

when i had emetophobia i was petrified of all transport but not so much planes
i'm good as long as i don't sit next to the window~

[Special]

no - i love it infact

[Nikki]

I don't have a fear of flying but I have a fear of crashing or being bombed, just the same on trains.

[Circadia]

I'm Not over confident in flying Because of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. But I wouldn't be scared to fly if I had too. I let my dad fly i plane i was in. so it will be fine if i do ;)

[cocaine]

used to be absolutely petrified. i'm fine now though.

[kuzkasate]

I absolutely LOVE flying and I want to be a pilot when I am older :)

[kk.]

hundreds, if not thousands, of flights are carried out every day, and it's very rare for you to hear anything going wrong. Or at least something going wrong which results in death.

[AlexOC]

I'm like 50/50

I used to be really scared, and still get shaky when boarding and stuff. But once im taking off and in the air, its fine. I love landing :}

[Mathew]

After 54 flights abroad, I'd hope I'm not scared! :P

I really do enjoy flying and I'd love to be a pilot if I wasn't colour blind. There's just something about the whole experience that makes you feel so happy and free. Maybe the sensation comes from floating above the Atlantic at 30,000 feet in a metal can... :)

Planes are simply the pinnacle of man's engineering.

[,elaboratedolls]

Never been flying,
but that's cause I'm too scared, cause my family watches a little too many flight movies that end up with dead people. So yeah... I can't even control my fear in sleep, either they keep buying loads of tickets, or they end up crashing into the Pacific Ocean o_O

[dbgtz]

i **** myself with the thought
obviously its one of those its always better then you think situations.

[Samantha]

I don't class myself as scared. But I just don't want to fly, or go abroad.

[Dean]

I love flying, especially landing :P

I don't get scared easily and because I live in a city already, I don't get scared about terrorism because I just think of it this way: I have to get on with my life, which means using the tube and buses. I can't think "oh, I'm not gonna get on the tube or a bus because it might get bombed." - If I thought that way, I wouldn't be able to get anywhere or just continue day-to-day life.

Never had a problem with flying, never got shaky, never got ill, just enjoyed it.

[sammy]

I haven't flown before so i don't know!

[Dandelion]

I hate it! I have a fit when I go on holiday with my family, I'd rather just stay in England tbh.

[BeanEgg]

Flying for me is great! I love flying :D

I'm even doing a glider's course.. (yes an aircraft with a large wingspan with no engines!!)
So yes, I love flying with or without an engine! :P

[Yoshimitsui]

Noop, i fly them!
