I hate flying bloody scares me rigid :(

hmmm... seagull hates flying....kind of ironic :grin:
Im afraid of heights to a degree Im ok if I know Im safe i.e on a flat roof or somthing similar were I dont feel like Im going to fall off easily then Im fine but put me on a sloped roof then I start to feel different and thats when the height thing kicks in,
So anyway last year I went on a plane for the very first time so as you can imagein I start to feel anxious boarding the the plane, I go to my seat which is near the window sit down and feel ok.
A few mins later the stewards start doing the safety demo of were the exits are ect ect and then a feel jolt as the truck to tow the plane to the runway attaches itself this is when I start feeling nervous again because now I know any min this is it,here I am afraid of heights and Im about to leave terra firma for the the first time.
Shortly after the plane gets in position the crew take the seats, im right at the front of the plane and the crews seats are facing me although some 20 feet or so ahead of me, all of a sudden the engines start to roar as the pilot starts the take off (this is it the time is here now! feeling anxious I look at one of the pretty stewardess's ahead of me thinking look at her not the window look at her, but I cant help but look out the window and I see the speed everything is going past and feel a little excited then the plane tips back Im thinking here we go here we go my nerves are going crazy and just after the plane takes off it maskes a steep banked curve and looking out of the window we only seem to be 30-40 feet off the ground and the roar of engines and the sound of the wind going past the plane has gone and I feel like the plane is just going to drop from the sky.)
Now Im feeling scared and clutching the arms of the chair and gradually the plane levels out and reaches cruising altitude I look out of the window feeling relieved and I can see were way above the clouds and the sun is shineing and looking at the clouds they look so buitiful almost like the waves in the sea fantastic experience.
Who would think a guy afraid of heights would love to fly?
I cant wait to do it again.
