Default a major marital breakthrough

Easy now guys. It is just flying that worries her. Doubly so when flying
with me.

Lots of folks have fear of flying.

My wife has an incredible fear of stingrays. She can't even look at one. She
likens it to some peoples fear of spiders. We went to the Melbourne Aquarium
a few months ago, and she absolutely went hysterical when she had to walk
through the underwater tunnel and saw the stingrays swimming around.
She says she'll fly with me when I get my PPL and can flay an a/c large
enough to take the whole family, but not a 2 seater. She said that if
anything went wrong, we'd leave our kids without parents. at least in a 4
seater we'd all go together should anything go wrong. Of course, that's a
very negative way to look at it, but that's the way she thinks. We know
other couples with at least one flying partner, and they won't fly together
without their kids either.
