And an engineer.

logically I know that there is very little chance of the plane exploding over asia or that turbulance will bring it out of the air.
I just really loathe being in the plane when turbulance happens.

Did you know planes sometimes drop a couple of thousand feet during turbulence
It's quite interesting actually.

Yes
Because it's happened to me once and it wasn't funny.

Quite funny
And interesting in terms of air travel phenomena.

It's just educating you in the facts
It's not dangerous at all really.

I was once flying back from Bristol with someone who hated flying
I was half asleep, and they kept bothering me to ask how I could possibly sleep on a plane, 'cause it was so scary.

Apart from that one
I'm not scared of flying per se.
I'm just hyperactive. I can't sit in one place for twenty minutes, let alone twenty hours.
I can manage Chicago, which is eight hours or thereabouts, but anything over that time has me gnawing my limbs.
