@GameMaster2565 Perhaps, but the odds trade-off still favors aviation. I'll fly anytime, anyday without reservation. An even better way to beat the odds? Fly Flight Simulator. When I'm not sitting on a 737 in back, I'm in the nose of one on the PC!

@rotondi123 You are likely to survive a car crash but you are likely to die in a plane crash!
-
I don't know why but I just hate taking off the rest of the flight is fine
-
@headz51230 Thank you. You're comment made me realize exactly that. I'm TERRIFIED of flying, but this mad em feel better. I'm not being sarcastic. Thanks! :D

I agree with rotondi123. People can say to you that flying is extremely safe and give you all the statistics about how safe it is they want.. but if you look at the bigger picture, airlines do JUST the minimum amount of maintenance on the aircraft. In my opinion, with the amount of flying time put on all of those jets each day, one of them is bound to have problems and likely crash. They're ticking timebombs really.

@rotondi123 I don't think they factored in the poor maintenance records of airliners.

@arshdeep125 I wish I were flying a 206, or even a 182, but I am flying a 1965 C172F. Great little plane, pretty old but she certainly has character!
-
@DerPilotMann Lol Those Thermals then with the cold drop it feels wierd XD lol So do you fly the 172's? or the 206?
-
@Sting3733 I planned on it. Very rarely do I get scared when I'm flying my cessna, occasionally there will be a rather strong thermal and the drop at the other side will startle me, but never really anything that scares me so far.
Why are you scared did you know that you are over 100000 times more likely to be in 10 car crashes in one year,then to be in one plane crash your intire life.airplanes are aslo scientificly proven to be the safest way to travel out of anything else in the world.

The bottom line is people aren't in "control" which scares the shit out of them. The funny thing about that is most of the time we are not in control of anything....
