MStar Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 One of my big hopes is that we'll be allowed/able to fly in heaven. Like birds! So, no, the few times that I've flown I loved every bit of it, especially the take off, and looking out the window when we'd go over interesting landscapes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puellapaschalis Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I fly so often it's just not true (or so it seems at least). The more I fly the more aware I become of how fragile we are up there. So I too try to go to Confession shortly beforehand and also to ask a priest for a special blessing for my trip. But I don't think I've ever really been afraid of flying, probably because my first long-haul was when I was five (only time I've ever thrown up on a plane) and you just get used to it after a while. Sometimes I wish that "airport culture" were more "special" to me, but not often - it's still cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homeschoolmom Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 My fears of flying are more general. I'm not afraid of dying so much as dying and leaving my children orphans. If I were to fly with my children (which we haven't), I would fear that something would happen and I would have to QUICKLY figure out how to save them from dying. That scares me more than the idea of dying. (And yes, I have those same fears about driving.) As for the actual flight. I like flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mari Therese Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I said no, but I've never been on an airplane before, so it's hard to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmotherofpirl Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 When I flew back from England, the air traffic controllers were having a staged "slow-down" so after spending like 8 hours over the Atlantic we had to spend several more hours in a holding pattern and we not allowed out of our seats to use the bathroom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Red Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 [quote name='rkwright' post='1805290' date='Mar 12 2009, 04:18 PM']So are you? I'm flying tonight to Dallas, then tomorrow to Germany for spring break. Some time recent, within the past 3-4 years I have become terrified of flying. I have flown a ton over my life, maybe 100-200 times. I feel like my luck is running out. Anyways, I went to confession and the priest laughed a bit when I said "I'm flying tonight so I'm here in confession..."[/quote] +J.M.J.+ i'm not scared of flying, but i am pretty severely claustrophobic and agoraphobic, so planes are usually not the ideal place for me.
