I was at first as I had never flown until I was 23 and my first flight was to Orlando.
What changed was when I had to fly alone due to work sending me to Holland for a day.
Oddly, my first flight was to Holland for work. I was 21 though and had to fly alone, but it didn't bother until...
Coming in to land, I was looking out of the window. I love the science of flying, and I've played realistic flight sims for longer than Mushroom has been alive
SO I was watching the flaps descend and stuff, the way the wings flex and everything, was very cool. Then suddenly the top casing of the engine snapped back, I thought " ****, it's the Twilight Zone!!!" It wasn't though, I assumed it was some kind of air brake that particular model used to bring the landing speed down. There was no internet back then, so I couldn't look up the type and information on the behaviour and I've long since forgotten the model type. I did read "Do androids dream of electronic sheep" on the flights out and back though, which I bought at Manchester airport.
No, no fear anyway...
