yes.... and i have a mild controllable fear of flights. so taking a plane ride for me is like a multi hour rollercoaster ride (slightly scary but fun because of that)
I too have been on planes countless times and never once have I enjoyed it. They terrify me and I'm ill the whole time. I go back and forth between praying that I fall asleep and praying that we don't fall out of the sky.

Haha, me too im scared of heights...One time the airplane was shaking and kept dropping all of a sudden and the lady beside me was holding a small saint statue and was praying..kinda scary.

I wonder if she prays every time she rides in a car too... (where you're much more likely to die).
Yup. I haven't been on too many airliners (I don't go on vacations much), but I have plenty of time in small planes (Piper Warriors and Archers), and 15-odd hours as pilot-in-command of said planes. Not much, but it's an expensive hobby. :(

LOL Yea I can laugh at that now cuz I'm not on a plane! I'm sure that was so comforting to you. Ugh even thinking about the way your stomach drops when the plane does... yuck. But I must admit that I bring a rosary on all my plane trips. You can't drag me into a church normally but I go through quite the religious experience on a plane! I'm quiet about it though, no obvious saint statues or any out loud praying. Talking shakes the plane, ya know!
I personally don't life flying over water. I don't know what it is. I'm guess I just like to the security of knowing I'll die instantly over land. :lol:

I think it's pretty much the same no matter what. Yeah... a crash that kills on land is going to kill on water...
Nope, never. Road trips are superior methods of traveling.

Agreed, it's just that small wrinkle of running out of road that necessitates air travel, that or a time crunch.
What I hate is you always have to turn off your electronics or put your phone in "Airplane" mode. They don't make you do that in Europe!! There has been only ONE confirmed case of a small electronic device affecting the instrumentation of a plane causing it to crash. In all the countless airplane flight only ONE.

I think it's pretty much the same no matter what.It depends on the landing. A lot of times if the landing is controlled most of the way down, you just drown in an ocean landing.
No. Nothing is better than a long road trip. They are one of lifes true pleasures.

Yeah... listening to the silent hum of the Prius motor, going past the wind-turbine covered hills, while sipping from your wheat-germ smoothie... nothing like it, is there? :P

:O Blasphemy! No. Nothing is better than a long road trip. They are one of lifes true pleasures. Meh. I'd say you should experience flying a plane on a cross-country trip... but it's really pretty boring. :lol: The plane I usually fly doesn't even have auto-pilot (keeps altitude and heading) and I've still nearly fallen asleep. I can't imagine what would happen if I *did* have auto-pilot.... You'd probably see it in the news: " Canadian fighter jets intercept small plane crossing the border, pilot snoring at the controls." :P

No, he never mentioned buying up Carbon Credits along the way.

Unless the nose of the plane hits the water at a perfect velocity and angle, also taking into account the wind direction and speed and the waves are spot on including many other factors you will live, if this 0.00000000000000000001% occurance does not happen I'm sure you will plummit to your peril :)
