yes.

in fact i'm that afraid I can't even watch them in the sky
 
it makes me nervous but i'm not necessarily afraid of flying. I also have been on a plane >10 times, so there's that. it's just because I don't really like other people operating the vehicle i'm in, same with a pilot of an aircraft, anything can happen and your life is in their hands even if odds of anything happening is minimal. despite that, I really love getting the window seat and looking out over the clouds and down at the cities, especially at night it's so mesmerizing to me. If I was ever gonna join the military, it'd be the Air Force.
 
Yes.
I have flown a few times, but it makes me so incredibly nervous that it's going to take a really good reason to get on a plane now that I've learned how to firmly put my foot down. :D
 
I was on a plane a few months ago and going to do it again in about 4 months. Its easy.
 
Yes. I have flown plenty of times before, but had a very traumatic experience on a flight back from London. We were flying over the great lakes into Chicago when we lost a lot of altitude and shit flew everywhere. I was about 14 at the time, and well aware enough of how fast we were going and how high up we were. As an anxious person in general, the experience scarred me. I haven't flown since I was 16.
 
I'm not afraid but uncomfortable. Take off and landing are the worst. I've been getting good at take off, landing depends how rough it is. I LOVE to fly though, it takes me places I otherwise wouldn't get to.
 
I’m so comfortable that I read or watch plane crash articles/movies.
 
Terrified of highs. I have never been in a plane for that reason so no flying for me.
 
Flying often does make me nervous. I get upsetting thoughts like whether or not the plane will crash with us in it.

I don't mind it as statistics are on your side with flying being much safer and less likely kill you than driving.
