I'm terrified as well, but never let it stop me from travelling. It is really wierd for me how on some flights I feel totally relaxed and them some I am almost shaking I get so anxious. I recently flew 9 hours to London, and also 14 hours from Vancouver to Hong Kong. I was lucky to have great flights for those. I really think if I was to go and sit in a commercial plane, and be able to pick the pilot's brain a bit I would feel a lot better. Hearing sounds that I don't know, feeling the plain tilt, I alway assume the worst....
Agree with Fotze though, I always try to think once I am on the plane: "Well, I am on here now, and I can't get off. If it crashes, it crashes. I have no control anymore."
