fearfull flyer, are you just as worried when you step into your car? Most probably you never even give it a thought. If you have an irrational fear of flying (to the extent that you need to quote an accident which happened some 35+ years ago) then I doubt that anything I or anyone else say will fully put your mind at rest.
There is no absolute guarantee that you won't become a statistic but the likelyhood is so miniscule that you may have a thousand fold better odds winning the jackpot in the lotto. Don't let it ruin your holidays with your family. If need be, have a stiff drink before departure (
not too many mind
) and you'll be fine.
