Prepare to Fly - Fear of Flying Video
Flying affects everyone differently.  Statistics show that the fear of flying is rather common.  And, even though many people enjoy flying, nearly everyone has felt a little nervous at some time. Those who suffer can experience sleeplessness, anxiety, and panic attacks. Fearful flyers may miss out on vacations and business opportunities. Friends and family often don't understand or aren't supportive of those who are affected.  It is reasonable to feel trapped, out of control, or to be startled by that unexpected patch of turbulence, or that strange sound or feeling after take off. If you don't have the facts to explain what is happening, your imagination will naturally take over.  A strong fear of flying can be caused by a disturbing event in flight (turbulence?). If, during this event, you believed you were truly in danger of losing your life, you can develop a lasting anxiety.  Many people become more nervous about flying with age or after having children. We become more aware of just how fragile and dear life is. Also, people who are nervous flyers tend to have a strong imagination or a need to feel in control.  Prepare to Fly is ideal for the first time flyer, the extremely nervous flyer, or the experienced traveler who wants to learn exactly what goes on behind the scenes.
