I don't consider myself afraid of flying, but I can never fully relax in planes either. The thought that I'm in a tin can filled with explosive fuel 35k feet above the ground moving at 600mph just won't allow me to fully unwind.
Same with me, not afraid but I still don't overly enjoy the experience, especially take off and landing always feel a bit nervous. I got worse as I got older, I've flown since I was a kid and never had any problem with it but as an adult it seemed to freak me out a little more. It's not a major problem I'll still get on a flight.
From the very first time I boarded and airplane, I've always looked out the window for take-off and landings (if I'm actually awake). To this day, like a little kid, I love it. One of the most beautiful approaches I've ever witnessed was coming into Salt Lake City. I love the Vegas approach because the airport is basically at the end of The Strip. Of course, I always love coming back home to NYC, and seeing all the familiar landmarks from the air.
