I enjoy flying, but not the lines and waiting that lead up to the flight.  The worst is when you have to change planes and your first flight is delayed arriving and taking off again.  I missed my last connection, had to book with another airline or else wait about 8 more hours to stay with the original airline, then endure more long lines and going through security again because of having to go outside to get to the other airline's terminal... a real bummer!  I will avoid that airport in the future if at all possible when I have connecting flights.

Yes, I used to love flying.  I haven't been on a plane in years though.  Today's fees and regulations, I don't know if it'd be as much fun.   :-\

My ex took me up in the family's Cesna a few times, that was fun.  :D

I also crewed hot air balloons for fifteen years and took many flights.  That was great fun.   8)

Hi! Yes I have flown many times on a plane. Most the time I have had good experiences minus the time I spilled my water all over myself, making it look like I had peed myself. I have never ordered another water ever again, end of the story.

I was 5 years old the first and last time I flew.  It was on a small plane that a friend of my dad owned.  He did a few little tricks while we were in the air.  I threw up everywhere before we landed.  I am getting ready for my next airline flight the end of September ~ 48 years later.  It will be a long flight.  I'm leaving Kentucky and headed to Hawaii.  I thought I would be more nervous thinking about it but I'm not.  I know the Lord will be with me and taking care of me no matter what happens!
Have a wonderful day!

I have a handful of times, no problems except for the last time one of my ears didn't pop so my ear hurt for a few days

I started flying when I was very young and have flown numerous times throughout my life. I do not have a fear of flying or heights.

Yes, I flown many many miles on commercial carriers. I also am a private pilot, learned to fly sitting in Dad's lap as he flew a Navy surplus trainer (AT-6) he and his brother bought after WWII.

BIG tip for those that fear flying or get a case of the nerves, go out and take an introductory flight lesson! Many if not most flight schools offer these at very low cost to recruit new students. Once you get a feel of what planes do, and just how stable they are you will lose all the fears. BTW, small general aviation planes are built to higher structural standards than the big commercial ones.

I have flown. I enjoy flying but I'm a little fearful on takeoff and landing. The stuff in between is great. Beautiful sights from up there.

I've also flown on a small plane and a helicopter. They're interesting but kinda scary. 

However, I hate, hate, hate all the security precautions they make you go through now. >:(  Makes me not want to fly at all.  I guess it will be that way from now on.

Yes and most of the times, it's been perfectly fine. There were times when there was turbulence but we passed through safely. I remember being paranoid the first time I got on a plane thinking I wouldn't making it to my destination but now I look forward to flying.
