Fear of heights

Mcsmoothie:

In talking to your child before the flight,explain that many people think that they may have a "fear of heights" in an aircraft. After the flight, the imagined
fear does not seem so important. The reason is that you are not connected directly to the ground. If I climb and stand on the top of a windmill or look over the balcony of a high rise apartment,I have more awareness of height than I have ever had as a pilot flying the aircraft.

Hope it helps and have a good flight.
