Just thought we might spare a thought at this holiday time of year for those people who have a fear of flying - if this applies to you, you are in good company:

Glenda Jackson

Ronald Reagan

Aretha Franklin

Loretta Lynn

John Madden

Muhammad Ali

Cher

Billy Bob Thornton

Stanley Kubrick

Jackie Gleason

Isaac Asimov

Anyone know any others?  The list would also include R Kelly, who ironically sang the song "I believe I can fly" (though probably not in an aeroplane, then).

Didn't mention it earlier, but Rickie Valence also had a fear of flying. You can sort of see where he was coming from now, he died along with Buddy Holly and The Big Bopper in a plane crash.

It's almost as ironic as John Denver and 'Leaving On A Jet Plane'......
