I'm not in love with flying but I do it. My hubby is a licensed pilot - so I have experience flying in the little planes - really those planes are made to fly - esp the little ones - they don't just drop out of the sky. I hate the security and taking off shoes and the lines....Also, hate the stale air on big airplanes - feels like I am breathing everyone's breath. What I really love are the float planes - my in-laws live in Alaska on an Island - we have to fly in on a float plane - I love those - you can see everything and really its a smooth takeoff and landing. I think its natural to be afraid of things you cannot control.
