yeah its not the fall that kills ya, its the sudden stop.
on the lighter side, all these planes can fly missing a engine. hell DC-10's used to drop jet engines all of the place lol

I hate flying. I understand how the airplane stays up (I happen to like physics) and I understand that my chances of being in an accident are far less than being in a car. However, they don't call them irrational fears for nothing. My co-workers keep telling me they are going to "Mr. T" me (drug me and tell me we drove) every time we have to go up.
Having said that, I have flown a few times, even cross country (Boston to Vegas) and never had any issues or problems, other than some turbulence. While I dread the trip every time I have to get on a plane, they always work out just fine. Can even be fun sometimes. On the flight to Vegas, we had some party guys behind us and a very cute stewardess. Was an interesting flight.
If you have any motion sickness at all you should take some pills or whatever for it before you leave. I don't get bad motion sickness but i get it a little and for my honeymoon we went from dayton to chicago then to puerto rico and i felt sick for the first 2 days we were there. Wish i would have taken something for that before i left but i didn't. That was my first flight and I wouldn't have any problem with doing it again just make sure i have something in my system first.
I picked up some ear plugs in Texas. They had a funny name like Earplane. But they worked for the ear pressure thing.
Read first post, skipped the rest.
You're overhyping the whole plane thing. Since you're 21, get a few drinks first so you give no [cares], then sleep once you get in the air. You'll be there before you know it.
Also, an Ipod helps.
