Flying

[Jamesbrown]

I used to provide coatings to turbine blades. If you’d of seen what I’d seen you’d probably not get on a plane!

If we're talking short runways. Skiathos. We've been there twice - its of Mama Mia fame, although we were there either side of the film being made. Twice flew in on a 737. On the return journey you land at Thessaloniki in mainland Greece as the runway is too short to take off with a full load of fuel.

To quote our youngest on our first trip. Mum, "oh look how beautiful the sea is." Son, "never mind the sea, we're landing on someone's drive."

Having flown into most of Fox's list I was also going to add Skiathos....it's the bump in the middle that adds to the experience significantly!

They even keep part of the southerly bay clear of anchored yachts for good reason 🤔

If you’re really struggling get to the GP for some mild sedatives. Couple of 2mg Diazepam before the flight and you’ll be fine. Don’t drink with them though!

Take it from me (a very anxious flyer previously) there are steps you can take in order to get through it. DM me if you want any more info, pal.

Flying I have no problem with but can see why you would afte a bad experience.

I was involved in a car crash when I was younger and now always feel anxious driving or being a passenger.

Maybe is rational as far more like to die in a car crash than die in a place crash!

I just find flying to be uncivilised. It is a poor experience from parking, 3 hour check ins, baggage drop off, waiting, queues, security, being cooped up with way too many unhygenic numpties, rubbish food, and even worse cuttlery.

That is before I get to the flying bit.

Yes to the above. I actually get very anxious about all of this. The actual flying doesn't really bother me but the before hand and people being annoying on the flight gets to me quite a bit. Very odd.

Ive got a friend who won't fly, because he's terrified of flying. But he's a smoker.

I can't understand how he's scared of something that is perfectly safe yet is happy to kill himself slowly with poisons.

I know which way I'd rather go out.
