Nope, not really.

For some reason discovery channel always runs a "mayday" marathon before the Vegas Internext show. And yes, I've seen almost every episode. But I still fly.

I'm hoping that if the problem is known enough for them to make a tv show about it, it's probably fixed by the time I get on a plane.

But I still won't fly certain airlines due to bad maintenance records and such.

I used to be affraid back in the day but not anymore... Still don't like too bumpy rides though...

Advice, try sleeping pills... You won't sleep or almost won't, but it will raise your tolerance bar and you will be way more calm...

I'm not crazy about heights either, to be honest. But it's more of a ledge of a high building thing with me. Or if I have to go up a ladder more than two stories I get a little light-headed.

But with getting on a commercial air liner, your fear of heights shouldn't engage at all. There's no way to realize you are high up, and even looking out the window of the plane hasn't affected me in that way.

It's more like you are on a really big bus that is on a road that is sometimes pretty annoyingly bumpy, but with stewardesses and drink service.

That's it.

Anyone else get a little nervous before they fly?

I used to, but I love it now. Like someone else here said, I want to go for my private pilots license sometime soon.

Meanwhile, your fear of flying can be easily overcome with the following:

1 -Alcohol. Not enough to get drunk (they wouldn't let you on the plane) but a nice little buzz to take the edge off.

2 -Xanax. Once a small (1mg) pill kicks in you'll wonder what all the fuss was about. (Not to be used with alcohol)

3 -Study this: www (dot)fearofflyinghelp(dot)com
It's helped everybody I've turned on to it.

One more thing...Careful driving to the airport. That's the dangerous part.
