other flying paranoias

We have one guy with a fear of wing spar failure.

Mine is the base-to-final stall/spin. I don't know why, but it is. I did watch someone spin in from low altitude, maybe that has something to do with it.

Other than the normal "Astronaut's Prayer", anybody have anything else?

Ah yes, the old "dangling out the door in open air" fear. You need to watch the first few minutes of this old Ripcord TV episode:
