How about zeppelins?

feeds@yuku.com (s5) — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 10:34:50 GMT

I'm thinking of taking a short trip on a zeppelin. It's purely for fun, but of course I'd like to make sure that I'm not taking an excessive risk.

Here's more info about the airship itself:

Need to take a job that requires flying on small planes

feeds@yuku.com (Eury1) — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 19:22:11 GMT

I have not flown in 2 1/2 years. But now I'm faced with a horrible dilemma. The economy sucks. My husband lost his job. I may be offered one ... but it requires flying from Chicago to Fayetville, Arkansas. The only flights there are on small, regional jets.

I have taken the SOAR course, but it has been so long since I've needed to fly, that I feel like I'm back at square one. I NEED to take this job. I have never faced the prospect of flying on a small, regional jet....

Ok...so the first time I ever flew was back in July...I was scared to death, but did much research. These boards helped me out TREMENDOUSLY!! I did it though! I flew alone my first time and I was so proud of myself!!!!

Well, now its time to take another flight around Xmas.....I reallllllly want to drive home to PA from St. Louis, but do I really want to drive 14 hours??? Yes and No. I have mixed feelings.

FAA renews, toughens warning to Boeing 737 pilots

What I found absurd, is this quote "Dorr wrote in an e-mail that between the Helios crash and the first directive, the FAA received four reports of pilots disregarding the alarm, all from U.S.... Please help me overcome this. feeds@yuku.com (want2dothis) — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 20:31:22 GMT I'm desperate to know if there are any Fear of Flying Courses available in person in my area. I live in Santa Ana, Ca. I live 10 min. from John Wayne airport but haven't found anything. I don't want a "therapist" I want interactive sessions... I've live 15+ years flying in fear.

I like to look in before i fly, because I read these, and realize that EVERY fear that I have, all of which i keep thinking are very unique, therefore are very real about to come to fruition fears, are fears that have been covered a thousand times over by everyone on here. From simple things like turbulence, to that wierd feeling like the plane is falling while... Getting back on the horse feeds@yuku.com (westgirl32) — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 20:56:29 GMT Hi all- I am thinking of flying in a couple of weeks. Any advice to help me take that next step; booking the flight. I am kind of paralyzed so to speak. I have been looking at airlines and rates but have yet to book anything. What should I do next? Thanks. flying on military aircraft feeds@yuku.com (pa gal) — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 16:18:00 GMT I received my dvds this weekend and have really enjoyed watching them. So far finished the ones on flight anxiety and description of flight. I have really felt assured by learning about jet engines, all that you taught about take offs, and all the noises and sensations. I had just started to feel better about the whole thing. And then....I learned today that the flight that I must take in the next couple of months (for work) will probably be on a military plane, I am assuming a... 29 years worry free until 2008 feeds@yuku.com (Regina) — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 00:38:22 GMT Can one person fly for almost 29 years with no turbulence and no fear and then just freak out about it? I was first on the plane at age of 6 month and never even once up until this year worried about flying. I would fall asleep on planes, my sister would wake me and up holding my hand "that was scary! how could you sleep?". I don't know how, i just did. I fly twice a year round trip from NYC to Russia with no problems, Tokyo, Hawaii, not a care in the world!

He lives in western Massachusettes and I live in Los Angeles. I am trying to be economical, but I want to have the easiest flying experience that I can have as I have not been in an airplane for over seven years! US Airways seems to be the cheapest but I do not know much about them. What airline would you recommend for someone who still has not fully committed to the idea of actually taking the flight, but really wants to?

I'm leaving for New Zealand for my honey moon in three weeks, flying qantas into Auckland from LA. I'm very excited, but now i'm seeing "a string of incidents" as it's been declared having to do with Qantas (flying blind over the pacific, the computer malfunction, the whole in the plane etc.).

It looks beautiful but the only airline I see going there is Air Tahiti...is anyone familiar with this plane and know its safety record?

I was all set to drive, but both my mother and my husband insisted on my flying, because it was safer. The morning I flew I talked to my therapist about some of the recommendations here, especially the 5-4-3-2-1, and she added some recommendations on meditation.

I am a sales manager and have logged 60,000 miles flying in the past 8 months. Lately - within the past month or so, all of a sudden all of the old anxiety that used to haunt me about flying is coming back. I have NO idea why.

I felt an inner calmness that I havent felt since I was at school! I did it for about two days thinking of all the little fears I have about this and that and now I am loking forward to a flight next month..Wow! Go there, I have tried everything before, but EVERYTHING!!
