Many folks have a fear of flying but in reality it’s a hell of a lot safer than driving your MGB as there aren’t as many idiot pilots as idiot drivers. That may change in the future but hopefully by the time autocars are common the humans inside won’t have control and computers will keep us safe.
Commercial pilots are good and take great care of you even in bad windy conditions. Sit back for 11 minutes and enjoy some grueling take off and landings.
