Fear of Flying Help

You might be surprised by how many people have a fear of flying. I've read that anywhere up to 60 million people experience some degree of fear upon boarding a plane. For many it develops later in life as we realize how precious life is and that we are all mortal beings. For some it's uncomfortable feeling out of control.  Many of them hide it well, others are much more vocal about it. Still others are terrified enough to stay on the ground ALL the time.

I am a recovering "fearful flyer". I say recovering because I do occasionally slip into moments of sheer terror, but I'm gradually working toward being able to fly without any fear at all.

A common question by fearful flyers is, "How safe is airplane travel?" I hope you'll find that it's a very safe method of travel, safer than cars, bikes, motorcycles and boats put together.
