Re: The silly thing is that I fly at least twice a year, and more if you count individual flights.

Honestly, I don't fear them because I've flown so frequently, it's no longer unknown. I fly a few times every year, and being afraid just doesn't make sense.
Yeah, but who says I have to make sense?!
No one I know.
I actually dislike landing. That sensation of falling, lurching closer towards the ground, trusting that the guys they hired to pilot this thing know how to land without smashing us into the earth....
See, I can deal with landing, because I find getting close to the ground strangely fun. Everything looks like a toy! It's leaving the ground that I hate.
Really? Well, good for you.
For me, takeoff is easy like that... I close my eyes, ignore the flight attendants, and feel the G's pressing me into my seat. Then we're in the air, and there's nothing to worry about.It is so unlikely that your flight will crash that you shouldn't even stress the teeniest tiniest bit. The plane you will be flying on has been checked repeatedly to make sure it is safe, the people they hired to fly it have been exhaustively trained, and you are entirely safe in their care.
That was pretty good reassurance.
I try.
Because I know it will be over soon... Flying to Africa was the worst though... my flight was 16 hours long... sleeping was impossible, eating didn't help, man was not meant to be confined at high altitude for that long. 
Yeah, flying to Europe was not fun at all.
I want my teleportation device!

Recognize that the fear is not a logical one. If tha doesn't help, it's unlikely that anything will.

It has to do with the lack of control. (WARNING: I'm not assuring you of anything)
