Your chances of a fatal accident in a plane is about 1 in 5 million flights. The risk of a fatal automobile accident is about 1.5 every 100 million miles.

Apples & Oranges.

Also, if you don't drive drunk, wear your seatbelt, excessively speed or you are over the age of 25 then your chances of dying in car accident go way, way, way, way down.

Meanwhile you can do all those and it won't matter if your plane goes down

And you have revealed your real fear: not a fear of flying, but a fear of lack of control.

“...you are over the age of 25 then your chances of dying in car accident go way, way, way, way down.”

I just hope I die peacefully in my sleep like my grandpa and not like the passengers in his car.

Not true. There is another drunk speeding idiot under 25 itching to kill you in head-on collision.
