Answer 6

Yes, I have flown over 100 times (been to at least 15 states, France, Germany, Spain, etc.)...still scared of plane.

Last year our plane caught on fire with us inside, they put out the flames, but I was so freaked out when we actually got to exit and see the damage and the fire fighters hosing down our plane.  We had a hydrolic fuel leak and the hot brakes caught the fuel and plane on fire.

Answer 7

I'm more concerned who's going to sit next to me.

Answer 8

Shannon:

I am a trained and experienced aircraft accident investigator.  I know as well as anyone the pluses and minuses of flying and I am not the least bit afraid of getting in an airplane.

If I told you that you are in far more danger driving to and from the airport than in flying around the world, would it help?  Statistically you would have to board a commercial aircraft a million times before you would be involved in an incident and that incident may or may not cause the loss of life.  Of course statistics are averages in this case.  You could be involved the first time you fly.  

The real problem is when a car crashes and someone dies you have a tragedy.  That tragedy is reported in the local media and more times than not it is reported on some back page of your newspaper.  However, when an airliner goes down and there is multiple deaths it becomes a statistic.  It is splashed all over the front page of half the newspapers in the world.

I am not saying that is wrong only that we kill thousands of times as many people on the highways as are killed in aircraft accidents.
