12. For context, I do not like to fly in airplanes

Abd I do not need any added anxiety about airplanes .

" you may conquer the air, but the birds will lose their wonder, and the clouds will smell of gasoline." - from "Inherit the Wind."

In the past few years there have been airplane doors blowing out mid-flight, fleets of airliners grounded after discovery of design flaws, pilots intentionally crashing their planes into mountains, not to.mention the repeated crashes of military Ospreys.

My concerns come from the primordial fear of falling from a great height.

I don't hate airplanes, they scare me.
