Doesn’t anybody get that feeling on a Plane that they are scared but when they land they are like “what was I scared about, I won’t be scared the next time” and then when you fly again you’re scared again?

As a pilot what scares me the most is driving to the airport.

[Brilliancetv]

Like if you have an upcoming flight :)

[PikaPikaLOL]

What sucks is being kinda afraid of flying but having a love for traveling. So I just deal with it. I know it’s super safe, but there’s something about the mechanical marvel of planes in comparison to cars, where a car is just wheels a plane is super heavy and fighting gravity.

For reference, I also have a fear of heights lol. But will not stop traveling

[PotOfLuck]

I'm sitting in the airport rn you made me feel better

[JasonBryantGreen]

I'm not afraid of flying. I'm afraid of crashing! I don't like the feeling of not knowing what's going on and not being in control.

[BigPMitchell]

The issue is the complete lack of control and understanding I have about what is going on. I may not be in control of a car but I can see and understand everything that is happening in front of me. I can see the road, the traffic, the driver, I can feel and hear what state the car is in etc.

On a plane I'm listening for noises I don't understand, in a vessel I don't have any idea about, being driven by a Pilot I can't even see or hear for most the journey, throw 35, 000 feet between me and the floor into the equation and you've got one very afraid man right here!

I’m mad at myself because I’ve flown many times, then I randomly became scared of flying.

[conorcorrigan]

I'm a private pilot with a fear of driving. No joke- I don't even have a driver's licence. Freeways scare the hell out of me.

[lzfoshe]

I think many people are just scared that they don’t have control of their own fate while flying. If it’s going to crash, you can’t really do anything about it

[MarmiteToast]

My issue with flying is just being totally out of control. Once you're up there, there is nothing I can do if anything goes wrong. Its a weird phobia that has only gotten worse with time, the last time I was on a plane which I think was a 14 hour flight I was in tears with fear while taxing on the run way and I spent the whole flight just hoping we got home OK. Such a rubbish feeling!

[TDB]

This just turned my fear of flying into a fear of driving

[kadenrodrigues]

Anybody else have a flight in the next couple days....

[onlythehonorable]

Now I got to worry about getting struck by lightning and getting eaten by a shark

[georgeoxley]

Your more likely to fall out of bed and die than dying in a plane crash
That's why....

I love flying, I love the window seats, love watching the plane take off and seeing the houses look like dollhouses, look the chances of something bad happening are very slim, you got a better chance of meeting someone famous on that flight then of a disaster happening. So chill people afraid of flying. Millions of people fly each day and come home alive. So chill.

[samuelwhaley]

I'm not afraid of flying. I'm afraid of suddenly not flying.

[cyclingcycles]

If you're still unsure, next time you're on a flight have a glance on the flight attendants. If they're still smiling and serving drinks, everything is in order.

I'm going on a 10 hour flight over the summer and terrified of flying. Hopefully this'll help!

The fear mainly derives from the fact that if ur plane starts going down, Ur chances of survival are extremely slim. Not all car crashes are fatal. Secondly, Its the psychological 'What if' that we constantly think to ourselves. Flying is not a everyday thing so Its easier to link danger with it. Its exactly the same as a roller coaster. People are scared of them because they think about dying, Otherwise it would just be pure enjoyment. Nobody gets in their car and thinks about a car crash.
