I'm 63 years old and have only flown 4 times in my life. One was from NY to Ca the others were all less than 2 hours. The last two flights I had to take a valium and have a stiff drink before boarding. I know it's a very safe way of traveling but I'm happier on a train. My grandsons and I went to Disneyland at Christmastime on the train, a twelve hour ride but we had fun.

I guess we can't pick and choose our fears. I have no problem going to the dentist but I know some people that dread it. I also know that many people are terrified of public speaking.

I do feel badly about missing out on this big beautiful world of ours but I won't be flying again.

I used to think flying was the only way to travel - can't think of a thing that would pay me to get on a plane now. Old age??

I love to fly (my wings never get tired).
Just buy me a ticket &
I'll meet you at the airport.

I've flown several times but only out of necessity. I much prefer riding a motorcycle.

flying use to be for the elict, you wornyour Sunday best, time past and you could wear flip flop. now it is for the rich or people who dont have to worry about budget. No discount for senior or children.. $25 to check a bag. Now it'sfly or drive or stay home.

Stop and think about it. You are safer in an airplane than you are in a car. If not, there wouldn't be any airplanes! Stands to reason, eh? Edie

PS - It is a lot of fun, especially flying to Las Vegas, which is 3 hours from us. Iowa is 1/2 hour! I like that, also! You can bring along a crossword puzzle book, or some embroidery. If you are thinking of bringing a scissors, don't. I use a seam ripper as my scissors in the airplane. Works like a charm.

I will tell you all. I don't do any thing with out the Lord.I tell Him when I get on a plane or anything else, Lord you know there is nothing I can do for my self so this situation is in your hands. That goes weather a tornado, hurricane, or flood, and that goes for getting in my car on crawling in my bed. He takes care of me when I can't. I sure hope this does not affend anyone.

I have flown in small planes, large planes, larger planes and helicopters, small and commuter, and the best was flying in a hot air balloon! There are more accidents traveling by car than flying - Don't miss the opportunity. It's really great. However, I won't take a cruise nor will I ride a roller coaster. Go figure!

I love to fly. It is the fastest way to get to see my daughter. It would be a 2000 mile drive, then driving in NYC would be scary! I fly, get a cab at the airport and enjoy the trip!

Flying is nice. Try it you might like it.
