There was a time when I was developing a mild fear of flying. Never enough to stop me from getting on a plane, but I was really uncomfortable on those planes if there was turbulence. Now, I still don't like turbulence, but my fear has mostly gone away. The reasons are 1) having been through enough insane definitely-gonna-die-now turbulence and not died to build my faith in the technology, and 2) knowledge about the statistics and rarity of airplane crashes. All I can suggest is hammering those two into your brain and letting your rationality take over. Now if only I could figure out a solution to my fear of heights, which I'm currently convinced is pretty rational... (edit: fear of edges/cliffs would be more accurate I suppose since the height of flying doesn't bother me...)
