I used to be scared of flying. And I flew every second week for years.

I got over it when I realized planes land on aircraft carriers in typhoons. Me traveling in an airbus is literally like getting on a bus …. Slow safe and boring.

It’s hard to be concerned about takeoff and landing on a big flat runway on land in a big slow plane, compared to big radar planes or bombers landing on carriers.
