I don't much like climbing up a couple of ladder rungs to change a light globe, but guess what my day job used to be?! And I'm no orphan on this. Aviation seems to attract a lot of folk with a fear of heights.Originally Posted by peter34uk
The mind can be a contrary thing. It often sees danger in relatively innocuous activities yet couldn't care less about potentially far more hazardous ones. Being inside a metal/plastic tube usually tricks the mind into not seeing it the same way it sees us standing on a chair.
Contrary to what many advise, I suggest you get a window seat if you can as it gives you something to focus on besides yourself, but also take a small paperback book so you have something to occupy your mind if it decides to have some 'fun' with you.
