Me too. Cliff edges scare the crap out of me. Yet I love to fly in any kind of aircraft. Weird.

My brother was in the Air National Guard. He was afraid of heights. Go figure.

I read once that it's not fear of heights that you ( and I) feel, it's fear of edges. It's b/c we are afraid we will jump. That's why I can look out of an airplane window and be intrigued but not terrified as I am when I look over a balcony 20 stories up.

Ed McMahon was a Marine pilot and often mention that he had a fear of being near and edge at high altitudes. It was the same as what you say you have, as I.

Me too. When I get next to a cliff things pucker up but flying an aircraft? Nah. Wonder why that is.

3 million AA air miles. Flying is so improbable our brains do not see it as “high.”
