Not matter how much i fly or how i tell myself the safety stats etc..it just doesn't go..

Still its all worth it to travel
I have bizarre thoughts.

everytime i fly or see a plane takeoff I wait for an engine or two to explode at about 300 feet just like in my nightmares.

I love flying and nothing scares me about it except that if I'm in economy I get pictures in my head about seeing the seats/partitions infront of me coming towards me (assuming the plane crashes head on somewhere) and the last thing I see before dying is that 0.001/sec of crap heading my way.

If I'm in biz I love everything including turbulance but when in First I think "i pay so much for this seat they better not crash".... then I got wonderring if you'd get a refund if you died.
