Dave, I have been a instrument rated commercial pilot for over thirty years and I have had many with me who were afraid of flying. When I have someone who is apprehensive I always have them sit in the seat next to me so I can tell them what is going to happen before it happens. I am sure it helps when I tell someone that when I move this lever you will hear a hydraulic pump start, the gear will come up and there will be a little thump when the gear doors close. Also I like to explain to them that it is not the least bit necessary to be able to see out the window till we are down to our minimum descent altitude on final approach. A modern GPS panel is also wonderfull to be able to show someone exactly where we are, how fast we are going, when we will be at our destination, all the closest airports in case we would need to land sooner, live radar weather, any high terain within 200 miles and many more usefull things. Aviation will open up a whole new world to you if you just take the time to conquer this fear. I know that it is real and I wish I could help you. My e-mail is open if you have any questions and just remember that as far as being safe there are aprox four thousand IFR flights in the air at any given time in the US.
