This question was inspired by a friend on here. How many of you are afraid to fly on a plane?

[Wallythewalrus2]

After several years of flying anywhere from two to three times a week, I still have not lost my fear. Has anyone eventually lost their fear through the years? How many would never get on a plane? About the only way I can do it, is several Captain and Cokes and a handful of Benadryl.

John Madden had a horrible fear of flying. He ended up taking a bus from city to city. He said it was due to "claustrophobia" but most attribute it to a crash involving the college he attended. I fly all the time and was definitely nervous the first few times but got over it. Now, it's a pain in the ass but still the safest and quickest way to gom

[Wallythewalrus2]

Christ, @slingblade1126 John Madden's been dead about as long as I've been alive but I guess that's interesting.

Am I the friend @wallythewalrus2 ? Ha Ha I'll probably never get on a plane. One of my first questions on GAG was about me never leaving the state of California and that's one of the reasons why! I've actually backed out of trips last minute because I just couldn't get on the plane. I have gone to Vegas in the last year though (drove) so, I actually did leave the state ☺️

[Wallythewalrus2]

Yes, you are the friend. I saw your comment yesterday and realized that's something we have in common.

[Laciejordan]

At least you actually do it. I honestly think I never will.

[Beckybooboo]

I have only flown to California and back. It was a nightmare! I will have to do it again around Christmas time, I'm going back home to visit. I would definitely rather drive but I only have a week off, so it would limit my time with my family if I drove and the drive back would be depressing lol

[Wallythewalrus2]

@Beckybooboo You're speaking to me again? 😘

[Wallythewalrus2]

Say "Hi" to everyone!

[Beckybooboo]

I put you on probation 😜

I think it's hilarious that so many people are afraid to fly, when they have about a thousand times greater likelihood of dying in an automobile crash.

[Laciejordan]

Screw you, SISSY! lol It's a legitimate fear and I think I'm the friend he happens to be talking about. I'll never get on a plane. I've actually backed out of trips last second because of fear.

[Billlewis]

@Laciejordan Yes, Goddess, thank you very much.

[Wallythewalrus2]

@Billlewis I bet when a freak like you fly's, you probably pray some fat woman takes her shoes off and rests her disgusting feet on your arm rest, don't you? Or even a dude, I'm guessing.

[Billlewis]

As is always the case, you are absolutely correct, Sir.

[Laciejordan]

🤦 That's just gross! 🤮

No I haven't lost my fear of riding on an airplane ✈️

In fact, I don't even want to go to an airport anymore much less go on a plane ride. No thanks!👎

Knowing my bad luck I have in my life, the plane I would be on would probably go missing never to be found again. Just like that plane that disappeared out of thin air year's ago.

[NathanDavis]

I'm not afraid...

but, I would not trust Boeing 100% nowadays...

[Wallythewalrus2]

It's not a big deal if a wheel falls off after takeoff, they have a few left. Same as doors.

[LiamJHayden]

Although I have several times jumped out of perfectly good airplanes, I have never had a fear of flying.

[Surely]

Don’t care for the airports. Don’t mind flying! Have been on commercial jets. Single and twin engine planes and helicopters.

[douride2]

I have no issues with flying.
