Fear of flying

We are old enough to remember when fear of flying meant there was a reasonable chance of crashing.  Flying through the weather, rather than over it.  Piston engines vibrating our body to its core.  Loud.  Navigation without GPS meant finding the airport wasn’t a given.

Today we fear delayed and cancelled flights, zero legroom, circulating viruses, crying babies ,and fellow passengers getting in fist fights.  And a booze cart that may only make one trip down the aisle in a five hour flight.

Safe travels.
