What are you afraid of?

I'm weird with heights. I love roller coasters, and other park rides. No issues flying. I've worked in power plants walking around 200' or more up on grated (see-thru) floors without a problem. But put me on a 6' ladder and I start to crumble. :lol:

Flying on small 14-or-less passenger planes

I won't do that anymore because my last small-plane flight was from Cleveland to South Bend in 40-50 mph winds. Really bad turbulence. We were bouncing all over the place but the comments from the airline were worse:

Gate attendant: "Oh it's safe. The pilot wouldn't fly if he thought it wasn't safe because he would die, too." :ahhh:

Co-pilot: "We're going to lower the temperature in the passenger area, because cooler air will help keep your stomachs settled." :frown:

Oh and I have motion sickness and fly all the time. (Last week, I went from Austin to Nashville to Las Vegas to San Diego to Austin.) So it's not flying per se but those little planes . . . no thanks!

I like this one:

"In the unlikely event of a water landing, please ignore the screams you will hear coming from the ****pit."

I was on 13 seater trying to land in Manchester, NH in a dense fog. After the first failed landing, the pilot announced "we will ATTEMPT to land again". I'm sitting there thinking, attempt my a$$, either land the plane or let's go somewhere else. The pilot couldn't see the runway and after being about 2 feet off the gound, pulled the nose straight up and headed to Boston. Good times.
