Jerry_Atrick Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 (edited) The way I cured an ex-girlfriends fear of flying was to have my almost elderly father drive us to Tullamarine. She admitted she was relieved to be boarding an aircraft after that episode. Edited September 30, 2022 by Jerry_Atrick 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Cunning. She's probably a nervous wreck now, . When a Flighty asked if we could do something about a passengers acute fear of Flying and when she came up we acted real relaxed and I said "this is one of the safest Planes out there and there was no way that we were going to jeopardise getting our superannuation by flying a crook one". That seemed to do it. Nev 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_Atrick Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 (edited) I have to admit - it wasn't by design, but, as I was a fledgling piilot at the time, I was able to reassure her those up front aren't in the habit of killing themselves nor their passengers, and that they were certainly more lucid than my ageing father... That also helped.. She still wouldn't get in a light plane (at least with me, anyway)... [Edit] And, yes.. she was a nervous wreck... though as it turned out, long before I met her, and she was darned good at hiding it Edited September 30, 2022 by Jerry_Atrick 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Reminiscent of the cartoon posted herein. How often do planes crash? Only once. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My other half was scared rigid of flying for decades, then did the Fearless Flying course run by female Qantas pilots. Since then she’s organised several flights OS for us... but she still won’t go near little aeroplanes! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yenn Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Who says an aeroplane only crashes once. A lot of you would have seen the red DH Dragon which went to several fly ins in Qld. The owner pilot told me that it had crashed years ago, killing his father and uncle. He had more recently managed to buy it and it was restored. It then went on to kill him in a flight from Monto, ending up in a mountain near Gympie. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
