Fear of Flying

A lot of people still have a fear of flying and with the recent accidents it makes it much worse.Having flown for many years in aircraft that was being repaired or to see what a problem might be.Its called a maintenance flight.
I can assure you that it is safer to fly than ride in a car.The odds of dying in an airplane are like 1 in 25 million.versus the odds in a car.A car accident is 1 in 5000.
Do you like the odds?
The reason you are scared is you aren't driving the plane so you feel unprotected but believe me their are many pilots with many skills and lots of hours.If you just relax and think it is a bus trip then you will be okay.
