If you're not a nervous flyer you won't understand it. I have had no bad flying experience really...my brother is a long haul pilot and flies every week so I know how safe it is but i still hate it. Phobias are irrational I guess...I prefer to be in control. Possibly a touch of claustrophobia too...once those doors shut, I am uncomfortable.

I am not too bad on landing, I look out of the window and see the tops of trees and think..well if we crash now, I might survive. Although as someone rightly said, the chance of surviving a crash on landing is less than a crash on take off...
