The last time I was in touch was in March when I was about to cancel a holiday that was already paid for because I was terrified to go up in the air again.

You suggested I log onto this site and read other peoples comments and it deffinitely helped and I am delighted to say that I made it onto the plane, had a wonderful holiday and made it back safe and sound.

I prepared properly and took the time out to relax and listen to the cds at my leisure before I went and I brought them with me & again listened to them before the return flight and I have to say that it is the most relaxed I have been on a plane in years, I even looked out the window!

a major step for me and there were no tears,my flying partner was very impressed and so was I.I am now confident that I will fly again because of your help and can't thank you enough,I am now aware that it is not a miracle cure and I may experience set backs (as I did in Feb) but I am determined to overcome them now,thank you.

P.S it helps me to imagine that you are flying the plane.

"My first flight was in an 8 seater twin-engine Piper Chieftain from Biggin Hill to Southend International airport. I kissed the tarmac at Southend. "Don't do that" said the pilot, Chief Instructor at the Flying School "they'll all think I'm rubbish!"

We tried to find a cup of tea, couldn't, so with special permission fro air traffic control, flew down the Thames to Vauxhall, did a big circle over London, and nipped back to Biggin.

I flew to Washington DC. I flew back to England. Then I flew to Barbados. And Back. Then I did two fear-of-flying flights to keep myself topped-up as it were, and to have a go at helping others get flying. Then I flew to Thailand. That's a long way. I recommend Business Class.

I can now get on a plane, and go somewhere, anywhere. And even enjoy it. I love Jumbo jets best. I am still apprehensive sometimes, and less so each time I fly. And that's good enough for me. I don't panic, or die of fear, or go mad, or get up and try and get the door open. I watch the movies, enjoy the food, even look out of the window, and take photos!

Congrats on the launch of the new website! I've just had a quick look while on my lunch break and it looks fantastic. I bet its a relief to see how all those months of hard work have paid off!

Having access to a great source of information will make such a difference to people's lives. My fears ruin the excitement of going on holiday and with the help of your website, I look forward to being able to overcome these and finally relax! Your book and CD were a huge help on my last trip and I think the video and sound clips are a great idea to accompany what we have all learnt from you so far.

Thanks again for your help Liz_T (on the forum)
