Yes...I have never been in a plane before :P
by BabyRoo on April 3rd, 2008
Nope. I have been flying since I was a baby. Even after the 911 attacks, I'm still not nervous to fly. :)

Just takeoff and landing, they freak me the hell out... in between is mind-numbingly dull.
by sm00z on April 3rd, 2008
If I don't get a good night's sleep before getting on an airplane, I get very jumpy and my flying experience isn't very pleasant.
I keep having thoughts about landings as being nothing more than controlled crashes.
by sloroller on April 3rd, 2008
Not the travel, just the landings. Seriously, the way I look at it is; if it's your time to go, it doesn't matter where you are.
by Rock Shiner on April 8th, 2008
Since 9/11 it has. Before that no problems.
by MG1942 Has a Life Penguin on April 8th, 2008
No. Flying into a building or into the ground like a lawn dart, or upside down over the ocean at 40,000 feet, on fire, makes me nervous. You never hear, "Today, a jumbo jet smacked into a f'ing mountain in Peru. LUCKILY......all aboard were wearing safety belts."
by Mentalmum is back on April 3rd, 2008
Yes, but excited nervous, not worried nervous!! I love flying cause it usually means im going on holiday :)
by Drastic on April 3rd, 2008
Nope! I love it!
by THE TRAVEL SLUT on April 3rd, 2008
Only in severe weather and usually only during international air travels where weather is a major factor at either departing or arriving airports.
by lazerus1500 on April 3rd, 2008
I just hate take-offs and landings... I've been flying a couple of times... it gets easier the more you do it...
oh and I hate the flying if the seats are too close together... I'm 6'4" with long legs... and if they are close together I have to either tuck my legs under my seat or sit with my knees in the back of the seat infront of me...
especially if they lean back (which is another thing I hate... people don't think about the person behind them they only think of their comfort...
by Firebrand on April 3rd, 2008
No not at all, I love flying.
by DA BEN DAN yanggui zi on April 3rd, 2008
Yes. I don't like it. I worked for a major airline for 31 years...
by Smart2 is back! Did you miss me? on April 3rd, 2008
Yes, and the cost of air travel makes me ill!
by DRLAURAHATER on April 3rd, 2008
No, I enjoy flying infact I feel safer in an airplane then I do in cars.
by LoyalTubist-CountryClub Life in Mindanao on April 3rd, 2008
Having flown literally hundreds of times, no. I had to fly a few times a week for a job I had many years ago. I have only been in one minor accident and no one was hurt.
I have been in a couple of train derailments, five car wrecks, and ships/boats/ferries make me seasick. Train travel is probably my favorite mode of transportation but air travel is the safest.
Yes, I know how bad it can be, too. When I moved to Guam in 1997, I was called to assist in working with a Korean Air 747 that crashed into the side of a mountain at a Navy base there. If I remember correctly, only 28 survived the disaster.
by thekingcobra63 on September 27th, 2008
FOr me it is the discomfort of not actually driving the thing. I like being the wheelman on road trips, etc., and am not a great passenger. I would feel better in the cockpit than sitting in the seats.
by monchi on May 12th, 2008
Doesn't make me nervous, in fact, I'm excited 'cos I'm going abroad. Yippee!
by dream08 on May 11th, 2008
Yes, all the time.
by Brian I on May 9th, 2008
It doesn't make me nervous but, even after years of regular flying, the sheer power of take off still excites me.
by Kris Kringle on April 6th, 2008
Not really, maybe just a little.
by Merfish on April 4th, 2008
I have not done it in over 30 years, but I very much enjoyed it back then.
by RosieGHM Jetpacker on April 3rd, 2008
Two weeks ago Aloha Airlines bellied up..will not honor commitments to its customers..left them high and dry.
This morning ATA bellied up...will not honor commitments to its customers...left them high and dry
Yes they make me nervous..not the travel, but the airlines..they are greedy bums who gouge their customers until the doors are about to be slammed shut and then leave them dangling in the wind. :(
by Nelson - Jetpacking from bed on April 3rd, 2008
I've got about 200,000 airmiles in the past four or five years. I've jumped out and have hung from helicopters at around 200 feet. I've been in one minor plane wreck (we all walked away). I feel safer in the plane than I do out of the plane.
by Ed the Jetpacking Headbanger on September 27th, 2008
Not at all.
by dhervin on September 27th, 2008
Yes. It's not that I'm really nervous about crashing, it's just about giving up all control and the sterile, uncomfortable environment in the plane.
by Galeanda on September 27th, 2008
Yes it does. I haven't flown in a large plane since 1958 and a little lane since 1976
by j ninja... on September 28th, 2008
No I love it.
by Misplaced_Diamond on October 1st, 2008
I WAS extremely scared before my 1st flight.
So scared that I was sick.
But now I LOVE it!
I like to travel, not to actually get to the destination but just to be on the plane
by Noobie.com on May 9th, 2008
well it does but not because of terrorist. I am always afraid that pilot is gonna get drank or some other things like that. Another reason is in the sea u can swin or in the land transportation u can get of the buss and walk but there is no chance in the air. you can only walk in plane and its disturbing.
by endpolicebrutality on September 28th, 2008
It makes me scared.

She was not a threat. She wasnt doing anything illegal. She definitely didnt deserve a beatdown. Ralph Nader said the cop who gave her the concussion looks like a frustrated wrestler, looking to beat anyone up. If they had beaten her like that in a back alley they would be doing 15 years in jail.

Is there anyone else 36 or over who has never flown in a commercial jet?

WOW
I remember my fist time.
My brother wanted to help so
he drove me to the airport and we
had a little something before I took off.
That helped calm me down.

HAHA. Funny.
by LeeLee Chickybabe Avenger SLAB on April 3rd, 2008
The flight went a lot smoother, that's for sure.
by Kevisaurus is a Carnotaurus today on April 3rd, 2008
