    I was told by a hypnotist that I do not have a fear of flying. Apparently I have a fear of crashing. As far as bits falling off the plane are concerned, just the thought of it gets me heading for the bathroom.

    Airplanes aren't dangerous, crashes are dangerous!

    You would not have air crashes if there were no Areoplanes, or balooons or airships or .................................

    I bet a few passengers found out that adrenalin is brown in this happening

    My favourite part of flying is the take-off. What a rush! And I love a window seat.

    My Dad said that the hardest part of flying was the landing.

    At least with the landing you know you have arrived.

    And hopefully, with both the plane and all its passengers in one piece!

    It was the Russians I believe who developed an aeroplane that flew just above the surface of land or water. It was a normal aircraft not a hovercraft and used ground effect to improve the power to drag ratio. I believe the optimum height was half the wingspan above the surface. I am not sure whether this would make me feel safer (not so far to fall) or more exposed ( nearer to things you could hit). Does anyone know if this technology is still being developed?
