I worked in the aircrft industry for 34+ years (propulsion engineer) and your problem is not uncommon.
Some phsycologists offer classes to help people deal with the "fear of flying". With their help you"ll figure out why you find flying so fearful and learn how to deal with it. If you live in or around a big city there is sure to be someone who offers this. You might try calling or emailing customer service for an airline that serves your area and ask if they can recommend someone to help you.

Airline travel in the US and the EU is about the safest form of transportation there is-several orders of magnitude safer then driving your car around on freeways or in major metropolitan areas.( The last statistics I saw was that 70,000 people are killed each year on US roads. Several hundred people are killed in airplane crashes,WORLDWIDE and if you take general aviation out of the picture, that number drops to something 100-200 and some years it"s zero. My point is that flyng is relatively safe.)Once you get ino the third world, you need to be a bit more picky about who you fly with. I"m sure that you can find safety ratings for various airlines on the web if you do a google search.
Modern airline travel is not as "nice" as it used to be since deregulation because of the "cattle car" mentality that has brougt the price of flying down. 9/11 events that make security an added issue to deal with didn"t help either. But it certainly isn"t a dangerous way of traveling especially for long distances.

So don"t sit there and let life pass you by due to unwaranted fears.

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership, ... [Read Article]
