I am surprised by the number of questions about flying and the number of people that are afraid. What frightens you about flying?

I am glad to hear from many of you that are not afraid. I fly every week and I'd have to quit my job if I were a nervous flyer.

I was thoroughly terrified before my first airplane ride, so I took the scholarship approach. I got out every book I could find about airplanes and flying, especially the ones that explain passenger airliners: why they fly, how they're built, how a pilot is trained, how a flight is conducted, what the air-traffic control people do, and all the rest. The more you learn about the process, the more empowered you are. Learn about causes of turbulence, and why they drop the landing gear long before they land (it slows the plane down) and what all that stuff out on the wings does. Learn about the dozen or so radios the aircraft has. If you have your ticket already, you can find out what sort of airliner you'll be flying on and look it up on the Web to learn all about it. One more thing: You might also bear in mind that there have been no airplane hijackings since 9/11/01 and there will indeed be no more. Passengers will tolerate no nonsense whatsoever: they can and will neutralize anyone who makes trouble.

I get a little nerves, once I'm up in the sky I'm fine. I guess it's the ups and downs. We travel once by Greyhound from Ontario, Canada to Alberta Canada. 3 days to get there. NEVER AGAIN. I do not like the bus. 1 day is fine, but no more. Next time we will fly. I will close my eyes on take off and landing.

Not afraid of flying, just falling.
