You know what i like planes but dont like flying so much, But i just think you more likely to be in a car accident. And thats a TRUE fact! XD

[mazzin7]

I don't think there is anybody afraid of flying more than me, when I think about the summer vacation and that I might need to fly, I start sweating and feeling v anxious.

But I flew last year twice (International) and what I used to do is not to think about the flight itself at all, until I get on the plane,and then I'll watch any comedy movie (Yes Man & Hangover) helped me a lot last year.

My advice is "confront your fear"

peace

I never liked flying,but the last years it frigtnens me so much ,that I do'nt want to take a plane anymore,that started to enoy me,so I take aplane,but , my heart, with a litlle bit chaking of the plane,bumbs out of my chest,I get nervious just by watching this video!!!

[YELNCRUISE]

just thinking and imagining right now that im on the plane makes my heart remove from my rib cage..ive fly many times already but this fear of flying will not leave me maybe because the 1st time i fly is not agood one,we encountered a turbulence in the south china sea going to philippines and all of a sudden w/o prior notice the plane suddenly dives not once but twice i think it lasted for a couple of seconds!around 10-20?fucking shit all of us are shouting!

just watching this made me sweat, am about to go back to China and last time I went I did not sleep the whole 21 hours.

I did everything, stayed up all night before, drank a 6 pack before I went to the air port and drank 2 bloody Marys at the air port, then the flight attendant gave me as many as she could with out getting into trouble.

I have been to war 3 times, have done all the big macho man stuff, but the thought of flying scares the living H**l out of me. Anyone have any good suggestions?

[sicorange3]

I wanna fly to Hawaii someday... not that scared of flying.. but, flying over WATER? O_O That I am scared of... how long would I have to be over the water if I go?

[bigtopdog666]

being over water is better of being over ground .. trust me :):)

[sicorange3]

But I can't swim!!  :O

[bigtopdog666]

you'll have a life jact under your seat .

So no worries :-D

[TheClapAttack]

its about 6 hours from LA

[sicorange3]

6 hours over water??? I hope I would sleep all the way through!

[beebo02]

I swear this is the truth and I know I'm a loser, but I'm so afraid to fly I was scared watching this .

[rania3830]

so am i. whenever i watch take off vids my heart starts pounding. i have to go on a 12 hour flight this summer so im trying to watch these vids so i can be calmer when i fly.

[hanzpoo]

Do it every night for a week and it helps. I hate to fly and watching these videos help me. And Xanax. lol

I used to be phobic about flying until I escorted a young niece on a flight. It was her 1st time and she was nervous, so I HAD to be calm for her and explain all the noises, etc. I was never again afraid after that. I just imagine that Ben Franklin or Abe Lincoln is sitting beside me, and I'm "showing" 'em the miracle of modern travel!

[youknowmystyle]

That was a smooth take off.

AInt nothing to be worried about. Taking off is the best part.

Recently, when I was flying from JFK to BQN(Puerto Rico) mid-flight around North Carolina there would be severe turbulance, I mean SEVERE! Where you can hear the luggage below the aircraft moving and falling. It was scary. It lasted for like 30 mins. I thought the plane's wing or thruster was going to fall off!!

[geniusguy27]

How did you get over a fear of flying, if you had one? I get chills and nervous when just thinking about flying. Where did you find your strength or what do you do before you fly that helps you calm down and relax and not worry? What about in-flight? Also I never spent the night in an airport, what do you do to pass the time besides sleeping?

[prenasher]

Probably you might have been delayed or something therefore the pilot decided to go through it normally they would go round it. But it depends on the dispatch since they are the one's who plan the flights route also considering safety and weather conditions. Your not the only person who has a fear of flying. For some people closing the window helps, going to the cockpit to see what is at the front then you can have a conversation about your fear with the pilot also helps many people who fear fly

@geniusguy27 Nice 737-200.

[8justin88]

@geniusguy27 well i dont know about pre flight nerves, cause i have them too, but its because i cant wait to get on the airplane. i plan on becoming a pilot and have loved planes and flying ever since i could look up(since my house sits right in the approach pattern for CLT). and as for in flight just close the window and listen to music, or watch a movie on a portable dvd player and just get ur mind off of it. or maybe get an isle seat so you be looking out at the ground and stuff.

[flyerholland]

i know how u feel.. its probaly also because aviation is my hobby and i know whats happening at every moment of the flight and what wich sound is ment to be for.. its probaly something u dont know btw the wings of a plane are very flexible they can bend alot.. Ur turbulence isnt even heavy.. an aircraft can survive turbulence were the trollys will be flying and luggage coming from the overhead.. but how many times will this happen.. it gotta be 1 on 10000000000000 this wil happen

[Polyesterdiva]

hard to watch..but it helped me a bit (i'm flying in 2 days)

[cabanaboi29]

the only thing i dont like about flying is taking off.. i always fear the plane will tilt too much and crash while climbing to the feet its supposed to fly at.

[blueterrior]

im terrified of flying

[darthgyro]

breathing techniques help tremendously in severe moments...get music that helps you meditate and listen to it (once you can) especially through short flights.

[dkenley28]

not bad at all!

[alejandragagnon]

Nice video!
