Wow I need a geography lesson as I don’t know where that is but praise God for their safety. I panic even hitting the slightest turbulence and visibly pray. LoL I remember when a kind passenger sitting next to me offered me Xanax. We ended up talking rest of flight. Good for our nerves.

I am a pilot for a major airline. I assure you even the people up front do our darnedest to give you a smooth ride if possible. We don’t like it anymore than you do. But rest assured the aircraft undergo tremendous testing and stresses before they ever carry paying passengers. So even though it’s very uncomfortable and nerve-wracking the airplanes are built incredibly strong.

XANAX!!!! The pill that makes flying a little easier!

NOT that i’m advocating taking it without a script.

That’s illegal.

Went to Vegas with wife 3 years ago and we took Cessna to see Grand Canyon.

She is terrified of driving and even being in a car and that saddens me. It’s a manifestation of general anxiety.

But she had NO PROBLEM in a flying box that lurched with each gust of wind!!!!

I didn’t give a @#$@#$ about the Grand Canyon, I just wanted to land!!

No fear of driving, love my sports car. Good with the big planes.

DID NOT like being in that Cessna!!
