Great story about a very realistic problem for many air travelers. Thanks for sharing your experience and glad you were able to overcome it. I've only had a fear of flying once and that was the first flight I took after 9/11. By the time I got to Atlanta I was physically ill! Never had trouble since then though. My dad used to have a terrible fear of flying. We practically had to knock him out to get him on the plane (no, not really) lol.
