Is flying in a helicopter scarier than flying on an airplane?

kimmunism asked:


I’m relatively afraid of heights, and I **** the feeling of free-falling. Flying in an airplane- like a commercial jetliner, not a Cessna- is scary for me. Scary, but I’ll do it. Now even though I love helicopters, I’ve always been too afraid to fly in one. Is a helicopter flight more likely to give you that terrifying, zero-G feeling you get on an airplane’s descent? Oh, and when I say I love helicopters, I mean I’m SUPER into them! Am I totally wrong to think that I’d be too scared to enjoy myself?

    If you are scared of airplanes and the way they feel than the answer is yes.But if you can over come your fear than do it.
    The only thing you should fear is GOD and not knowing where your going when you leave the natural.
