Not sure if I'm scared or not. I only flew once in my life(or maybe twice, I can't remember). I kind of like the idea of it, but I am also aware of the possibility of something going wrong with a flight.
I am more scared about car driving, in general. Imagine if the skies were as full of planes as the roads are of cars.
But then again, we can't compare the two. When flying, you have to entrust an aviator with your life, whereas you can fairly easy drive your own car and are more likely to be able to do so, than man a flight. There are many other differences, obviously, I am just raising the issue seeing how some might compare the two.
I do love airports though, all because of one instance. I was awaiting to embark on a plane in one[airport], late at night, with my family. I might have been fourteen years old at the time and I remember standing there, in that great place, amidst many people preparing to travel or having arrived and moving in the distance, and feeling quite godlike, in fact. I don't know what came over me but I have never experienced something as great since. The feeling was so powerful that I was able to, I believe, convey it over the phone to a friend of mine, some time later.
