I am a big wuss when it comes to taking off, I hate it. when I get on a plane its always the same ritual, i put on a cap , sunglasses and bury my head in my hands, eyes screwed tightly shut.. I dont move until the hostesses start walking about and serving drinks.. Once in the air , I am fine and landing isnt a problem either.
Kev, you are far more likely to die when landing...
Yeah but It would be less far to fall

and there would be less fuel onboard.
