To fasten your seatbelt, insert the flap into the buckle

Maybe. I never had a fear of commercial flying, but the first few lessons in a cessna 152 on a sunny day sure reminded me why people are afraid to fly.

That, and me almost killing me and instructor a few months later did that too. At least now, I can slip on landings in a very safe and accurate manner.

edit: I'm sure a few lessons can desensitize a person

Hehe - I had a couple lessons in a 150 - makes even the smallest turbo-prop commercial flight feel pretty big in comparison, doesn't it?

Glad you're still alive.

I wonder if understanding the mechanics of it all helps with the fear thing too. I seem to remember there's a decent amount of basic aerodynamics and such before they let you take the stick...
