DO NOT jest with her about that. I'm not necessarily terrified but I'm uncomfortable flying. It's deeply unsettling to me. I take no comfort in knowing the ground is that far down below me with nothing but air in between. And yes I understand the science of it. Even so, I do it out of necessity rather than for pleasure. Flying commercially is the one and only time I can countenance heavy drinking (on MY part, that is).
