this happened to me too! ever sine my children were born. all i can think about is crashing. even though my girlfriend, who is an airplane engineer (there is some fancy word for it, but whatever) and she says if the plane doesn't blow up within the first 10 minutes of flight- it won't. i'm not sure how true that is but i try to remember it when i fly to keep me calm. .-= keri´s last blog ..hope you have a good weekend! =-.

I actually like flying, but I don’t like seats on the airliners. Not enough leg room and not wide enough either. I hate the way they cram in as many passengers as possible. I hate the entire process of flying commercially, especially these days. Still, it is the best way to get somewhere if you want to be there today.

LOL, well, I've flown so many times I just think its boring. Its not fun or scary, just boring! But I know someone who said they would bring a good, enthralling book and read it before and during the flight and that seemed to help. Serene´s last blog post..Its Monday. Here's a Smile.

A high flying post! I think that’s COOL!! You overcame enough to write and I think that’s fanTAStic!

Ugh. Ugh, ugh, ugh. I could have written the exact same post the last four or five times I was on a plane. It never used to bother me. Now I’m nuts every time I fly. I find that distraction helps me too. I can’t ever write though–the people next to me usually make me too self-conscious.

I used to fly a lot and either loved it or didn’t think about it – it was just a form of transportation faster than a car. But now, years later, having to fly Transatlantic (in coach class!) frequently, I don’t so much love it as endure it. Now I’m very picky about aircraft and seat placement – for my comfort and convenience.

Watching a huge military aircraft, a C5, does not help in understanding the physics of flight (which I do). Imagine an elephant walking through air. I still am in awe of modern innovations!

Enjoy your time in Utah!

I really don’t mind flying, once we’re in the air, or strangely enough, when landing. I guess it is usually way shorter than driving, which is a bonus in my book! A few years ago though, I took a trip to Taiwan. Chicago to Tokyo – 12 hrs…. was never so happy to be off the plane!

My only concern with this post is you never confirmed whether the captain said it was okay to operate electrical devices, like a laptop. We must be very careful, recent tragedies, not to disturb the highly sensitive flight operating equipment. I am always very nervous when I see emboldened passengers whipping out their electronics during the flight.

I love flying, or the act of it. Even though it gets you to your destination a heck of a lot fast than driving, I still don't like the sitting and traveling part. But flying itself, love it! Courtney´s last blog post..The Straight and Narrow Path
