    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'm not crazy, ask my toaster.

    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!

    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

    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.

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

    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!
