Hi Kimmij, I've been an air trafficker for 25 years and I've seen one aircraft crash in all that time (it was a military jet that crashed during aerobatics). Think how many car crashes you've seen, or the aftermath of. Sit back and enjoy the ride, and your baby will enjoy it, too. I took my own baby flying for the first time this year as well, and she loved it. Have a good trip. (And the next one, and the one after that, and...)
