If you have a fear of flying, you might fear crashing. Or you might have claustrophobia, and fear being "trapped" in the airplane during a long flight. You might fear having a panic attack on the airplane. Whichever type of phobia you have, you can overcome aviophobia. The key to success is to understand what maintains your fear, and learn how to roll it back.
