i'm not a huge turbulance fan either. there are two things that help allay my fears:

1. listening to channel 9 on united. pilots are always very calm even in the worst of it. that's has very soothing effect.

2. the knowledge that the "hurricane hunters" fly c-130s that have not been reinforced in any way. i doubt i'll ever fly into anything much worse than a cat 5 hurricane.
