Any chance you've had a recent shift in your personal life? The reason I ask is that I also didn't have a fear of flying until later in life and what I think is the source was meeting my wife (to-be) and then having kids. This may sound silly, but before, when it was just me, without dependents, I didn't think as much about doomsday scenarios. Of course, I was still afraid of dying, but it just didn't cross my mind as much. After becoming a husband and a father, I started to (perhaps irrationally) worry about (a) not being there for my family or (b) the lives of the people I care so much about (when flying with my wife or kids). Fortunately flying is not a regular event for me, although I still do it when necessary (probably once or twice a year).
