Scared stiff of flying!!!

Yup! Acceptable leak rates FTW

LOL I start to worry when all the leaks stop, it means it's run out of fluid!

I've been on a plane before and it was OK.

Now if that isn't reassurance enough then I don't know what is

hate flying with a passion but 2 x 4mg of diazepam and I'd happily walk on the wings mid flight - the fear is still there, you just don't care!

I still get nervous before flying but i soon calm down once i board the plane, i actually really enjoy flying though, however 14 hours on a plane is too much when i can't sleep though.

I tried diazepam to sleep but they were useless for me, never slept a wink in 30 hours of travelling / flying.

Yea diazepam doesn't put me to sleep either, just sort of zones me out and gives me terrible 'munchies'!! It's great fun watching a film, especially an action/sci-fi type film when out of your tree on them!

Diazepam just spaces you out.

If you really want to sleep, get some Zopiclone.

On the contrary, I've founded knowing what all the noises are, and knowing what all the control surfaces are etc. more comforting than not. I'd love to be in the cockpit, but that's just out of love for flying than anything.

From the clips I've seen of the 747's it looks very therapeutic. The weird thing is all the clips on take off look so slow and floaty... Must be fantastic to be a pilot?

I wonder how many people have a fear of getting into a car where the odds of getting killed or maimed are infinitely higher?

I'd love to do this. Imagine that feeling of freedom you and the skies.
