I've loved planes since I exitted the womb, and have even flown them myself.

The only time I've been scared was when I was flying a Cessna into a strong headwind and I rolled off a little to fast.. the sense of weightless and "oh shit, I'm going to stall 5 feet off the runway" was brief, but damn did it make me check myself.

I've felt far more unsafe riding in a car with female drivers than I ever have in a plane.
