Be sure to sit as far to the front of the plane as you can, that way if you crash you will be one of the first one there. JK you will be alright.

if i had the choice to sit anywhere it would be on the black box.

i've flown before but still hate it. little different than riding in a car or a boat....somethin bad happens i can easily jump out. Not the case in a plane.

i have also refrained from listening to skynyrd

You are an intelligent being. It's MUCH safer to fly than to ride on these deadly roads.

At least when you crash in a vehicle though you don't watch yourself fall to the ground you're already there! LOL I've never flown but that is my biggest fear! I don't want to watch myself falling out of the sky!

You wanna really mess your pants......look up how many near misses go unreported on the news. The FAA is using outdated equipment and things sometimes get pretty hairy. I'm sure you will be ok though. lol

It's still the safest way to travel long distances in my opinion. Statistically speaking I would think planes move far more folks with fewer mishaps than cars. Course with pilots asleep at the controls and stuff I can see where ya might get worried. LOL LOL

It is a little un nerving when taking off and landing to me. The rest is just snacks and booze!!

You will be just fine! I always find I like to sit just behind the wing but I have heard the wing is a smoother ride and I know ya got more leg room if you are willing to help others out of the emergency exits............. Take the leg room - worry bout helping later!! LOL

Enjoy your trip and don't worry! If it's your time it's your time - where you are won't matter!

Near Miss? Shouldn't it be a near hit?
