Some people are frightened to death over just the thought of flying as a passenger in a plane or jet, even though they say that the chances of getting killed or seriously maimed are higher by being a driver or a passenger in a vehicle on the road.
But many others like myself aren't afraid of flying at all.
So how do folks like me stay calm and unafraid while flying in a jet thirty thousand feet or so above ground?
I don't know about other people. However, I can speak for myself.
I just tell myself that the chances of getting killed or hurt in a plane accident are lower than getting into an accident in a car, truck, or van. I'm not afraid of driving a vehicle or being a passenger in a vehicle. So why should I be afraid of flying when it's even safer than being in a moving vehicle on the highway or on side streets?
This kind of thinking works for me. And if you have a fear of flying, maybe this type of thinking could work for you as well.
