How to get over my fear of airplanes?(read desc. please)?

Airplanes are scary, ill be honest but to over come your fear, maybe if I told you that you have a bigger risk of getting into a car crash then you do when your in a airplane. Did that help a little bit? Also try not to think that your in a airplane, try to fall asleep or listen to music or read a book to keep your mind off your fear.
