WELCOME TO FLYERTALK!!!!
You'll be fine; enjoy your flight.
Avoiding a certain type of equipment because one crashed many years ago doesn't make sense. If you follow this logic, you should also avoid 737's (USAir Pittsburgh crash and United Colorado Springs), DC-9's (ValueJet in the Everglades) 747's (TWA over Long Island Sound), MD-11's (Swissair near Nova Scotia).. you get my point I hope...
If you're a nervous flyer, I recommend a double vodka tonic with a squeeze of lime.
