I have an irrational fear of dying from an airplane crashing into me. It doesn't help that friends of friends of mine were victims in this from just a few weeks ago:

I think I know the feeling. I had these nightmares as a kid about wolfes or 'cartoon heatseeking missiles' hunting me, like it was the same nightmare/feeling.

I don't, but sometimes I have dreams like that, whether it's an aeroplane or a helicopter or whatever.

I live near am airfield and just recently I asked my assurance company if they would assure agains airplane crash which they indeed do!

But alas, if it crashes while inside, it does not really matter...
