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).

"i ain't getting on no plane, fool"

 

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'......
