Falling out of the sky never hurt anyone the painful part is when the blood rushes to your arse !! It can also be a little worrying when the trolley dolly asks you to adopt the braced position and also cross your legs as it makes it easier to unscrew you out of the ground.
What is a comfort is that all other passengers will be feeling the same as you so your not on your own.

I hate taking off, I really do, but once Im in the clouds, Im fine, and landing is a piss.
I've been on the QE2 when that was tossed about in rough seas, and didn't scare me at all, but flying is still an iffy one with me

Sounds like you've got a phobia
Maybe visiting a Hypnotist would help
Personally i take the attitude if my numbers up so be it
You have more chance of being killed or maimed for life in a car than a plane

Well butter my arse if this isn?t very common and easily sorted.
Plans for my sail powered airomachine are still on the drawing board and there are a few doubters that claim it will never fly, but when built your phobia will be gone! I have discovered a few floors in metal aeromachines that I feel my wooden sail powered aerobeast will address and be far safer and kinder to the environment. Metal vehicles of the sky are too fast and go far too high so my machine will cruise at an altitude of 5ft. When I have it working I shall collect you in my sail powered motor vehicle and cure your fear of flight in my bright shiny happy people sail powered no sat nav required Bird of Prey.

My invention will be even better than the hovercraft and NASA shall know my name!
Fear not Steve56, for even though there are 55 Steve's before you I shall create something to stop your fear.
