How fast does a airplane go on take-off?
Don't be scared. Airlines are safe. Its the ride to the airport you should be worried about. Just think about this. Every time a plane crashes they show it on the news. Now think about if every time there was a car wreck they showed it on the news. Every one of every day. Now witch scares you more?Evaluate the internal and external coponents of the aircraft mentioned in task 2?
I lived overseas the first 10 years of my life and my family flew from Dubai, UAE back to good ol Oklahoma every summer for those 10 years. It was two eight hour flights and an hour flight from Dubai to here and then we went back at the end of the summer. Never any problems what so ever. I fell in love with flying and now I'm a 100 hour private pilot with instrument rating. All that flight time and no major problems. Flying is safe. Just enjoy the ride! :-)
is there such a thing as a helicopter for children thats lets them fly?
I am afraid, too. And I get myself all worked up and nothing happens. If you are of legal drinking age, don't drink before boarding thinking it will calm your nerves, it makes it worse. You have to remember that the pilot and flight attendants have flown thousands upon thousands of miles and they are still alive and well and loving their jobs (well, except for United Airline flight attendants, they're not so nice). Bring along a good book to read, watch the in-flight movie if one is offered, keep yourself busy and it will keep your mind from straying to negative thoughts.flight pattern from Brownfield Texas to Sallisaw Oklahoma?

I'm frequent flyer and believe me flying is safer than driving in a car. Plus I have no choice... my flights are mostly overseas.Which is cooler a commecial airline pilot or a fighter pilot?
Try to relax, close your eyes, put on your mp3 player with your favorite music (when you are allowed to) or bring a portable DVD player. Anything that you can find that relaxes you and can take your mind of what can happen.

Statistically, something bad will happen, somewhere, sometime, and eventually the sun will swallow up the earth, but I have good news, the human race will be extinct by then. Go live and stop worrying. Walking across the street is just as dangerous.Anyone know how to get a ride in a jet with one of the Blue Angels?
The most dangerous part of flying is the cab ride to the airport.On average what is the cost to completely fuel a 747 airplane with full tank of fuel?
It's ok to fly. Most deaths in aircraft are fire related, so you really should have fears of burning to death. And if you do survive the fire its a given that you'll have lifelong survivors guilt and will be a basket case and will likely do a public television documentary interview on the crash 20 years from now. But would you really want to be alive after such trauma? Many burn victims often say they'd rather have died.Profiling? So What? From a pilot's point of view...?

If you're one who can't understand how it's possible to take a big ol' metal thing and make it actually fly, try not to worry about it. Trust in the engineers who invented it and have "perfected" it over the last century... and think of other technologies we use everday without understanding them, like TV, or cell phones, or the Internet!
