Its funny that the older I get, the less confident in flying I get. I look at my dad and how he is too afraid to fly - he won't come out to see me in New York. I wonder if I'll ever get to that point. I used to be solid. Now, I get a little wary when landing. Its not nearly as bad as other people have it, and it doesn't even hit until the last part of the flight, but I never used to care. Landing used to be my second favorite part.
I guess it could be the smaller planes now. With JetBlue being my preferred airline, the planes are about 30% smaller than what I was used to flying as a kid. They shake more. You can feel it when they bank. I think of dying a lot more.
