I've been flying off and on for years; the fear, shakes, anxiety, apprehension, never really goes away for me. The bigger the plane and risk, is directly proportional to my anxiety level. I try to control the fear and not let it control me. Usually I’ll start out my flying day with a little foamy to warm up on. Once that’s done I’m usually good. I do however find my hands shaking sometimes (maybe because I've had too much Rockstar energy drink!). I have found the more I fly in a season, the less my fear becomes. If it’s been awhile, I need to get right back in there and start flying again.
