Fear of Flying...what do you do?

[Journeyman]

When you must fly.

I have a five hour flight, and I have no idea how I will handle it quite frankly!

I feel like I will be holding my breath for the entire flight waiting for something to go wrong... 5 hours is a long time , and doing it twice in 3 days YIKES!


If this plane does crash I swear I will never fly again!

And I will be one pissed off MoFo....and I am blaming Dante :lolBIG:


:drink:

:lolBIG: you could LOAD up on valium....or just suck it up...and do not worry as when you worry you suffer twice if what your worrying about happens:drink:

 

[Journeyman]

Funny thing is I love rollercoasters, motorcycles, jetskiing....its just heights and that fear of no control...no chance of jumping and surviving....I hope I pick the right plane etc.lol

Right around my birthday too....i have a bad feeling Dante

:lolBIG:

OH man ....I can see it now...

10pm evening news

" and in other NEWS a man on his way to vegas flips out on the plane and has to be escorted off..he was quoted as mumbling many times werid things as he is shackled and removed from the plane " But the bash I need to get to the BASH and see fishhead and Omniverous frog!!:lolBIG:

I have something that will work 100% of the time I just don’t know if you have time to do it before your trip go to your local airport and spend about $250 on a small plane ride one on one where you are sitting in the front once you ride there and fill the way you will with the way the aircraft moves and lands, takes off and more importantly the turbulence fills in the front it will make a huge difference. The fear of flying with the bumps or the plane making a turn is because you cant see out the front trust me this does work, hope it helps

Goose we have those plane rides in Ocean City,,, those planes crash every couple years...I wouldn't be caught dead in one ....I see your point though..

 

[Dante]

little bumps as your flying is normal and means your just bouncing off the air currents at 30,000 feet Jman nothing to worry about:drink:

 

[Journeyman]

I need to see those safety stats again...How many flights take off and land safely per day?

1 in what 500,000 crash?

Those are about the same odds as my Western Union transfer had of making it last week! UGH!:hump: :hump:

J-Man...My dad's gf hates flying, so she takes 3 shots of brandy before she flies and sleeps most of the way. Not sure this will work for you but it is a shot..G.

 

[corporeal]

depending on when the flight is (it works better for morning flights), you could stay up all night so you're a walking zombie by the time you get on the plane. i'm incredibly scared of flying, but sitting down after not sleeping in 30-something hours just knocked me right out and it was the easiest plane ride of my life.
that or valium, like dante said

My wife will only get on a plane with 10mg of valium taken about an hour before takeoff. Seems to do the trick for her...

"If this plane does crash I swear I will never fly again! " lets reword that to read

"If this plane does crash AND I survive I swear I will never fly again! " :smoker2:

 

[ClubmanCoop]

Jman, Ive had a flight to India from Adam it was like 9 hrs, now thats brutal.....lol

My 2 cents
Gum before take off....help with the ears
+
Bring a good book, start reading after you buckle up and dont even think about what going on. After take off look out the window and enjoy the view

GL See you at the bash...............


arty: :smoker2: :smoker2: :toast:

 

[SureGuy]

eat about 3 grams of "magic" mushrooms and hour before the flight. Then contemplate the meaning of life, before boarding the plane. lol

phobia...an irrational fear...tell yourself you are on a rollercoaster...you can't jump out of a plane and i seroiusly doubt you would live if you jumped from a 100 foot drop of a coaster...the only thing to fear is fear itself...gl

Flying is magnitudes safer than driving. Of course any flying accident involves several dozens of fatalities, at least, so it gets big press.

I used to really enjoy flying but as I've aged those transoceanic flights become more of a drag. I still really enjoy those 3 hour flights in good visibility where you can see the geography and geology beneath you.

very well said

I would gander that being on a rollercoster is MUCH More unsafe then flying
