Yesterday, a Queens NY man attempted an experiment  to see if he could overcome his fear of flying by  criss-crossing the entire country for a whole month on Air Tran Airlines until he feels he's over his fear. Mark malkoff agreed to blog about his experiences at markonairtran.com .Well you got to give him a lot of credit. Sometimes that's the best way to conquer a fear just by diving into it. I always remember how I always had a fear of water when I was younger. I never like going to beaches much less pools. When I was eighteen I went into the Marine Corp hoping it would help me conquer my fear of water. The marines & the navy have the toughest water requirements test in basic training. That challenge did help me to overcome my fear of water. I still don't like water, but I have a healthy respect for it. I even learned how to sail several years ago. The rewards to overcoming any fear is the greatest accomplishment in the world. For those people out there with a fear of flying don't ever give up trying.
