Fear is a terrible thing, especially when you know it is irrational.
The best thing I can tell you is to look at it logically.
Hundreds of THOUSANDS of flights take off and land every year without you EVER hearing of them.
Why?
Because NOTHING HAPPENED.
This verses how many times a year do you hear about what, a hundred or so people dying in a crash?
Now contrast this with an automobile.
Statistically, a person dies about every 13 minutes in the US from a car crash. But a car crash isn't THAT spectacular (unless it is a van full of kids that crosses the center lane.) No doubt that if you heard about every single auto fatality that happens daily (like you do with a plane crash), you would be afraid of driving.
So really, you are actually safer flying, than getting in your car and driving to the airport.
