I hate heights but love flying!

Two reasons:

1. Not understanding what the plane actually does during takeoff, flight, and landing - why its 'noises' change. For example, it relieved a friend of mine a lot to learn that the plane is quieter while flying than during takeoff because it takes WAY more energy for the plane to get away from gravity(ground) than to maintain height. SHe thought "quieter" meant the plane was losing energy!

Even look up a younger person's book on it.

2. It can be a 'control' thing. If you aren't "in the pilot's seat" in life, do you get uncomfortable?

Just some food for thought.
