Nervous flyer considering learning to glide

I'm a nervous flyer who spends a lot of time as a commercial aircraft passenger. My number one anxiety is that freefall feeling when the plane drops, like you'd get on a rollercoster (I don't like those either). One thing not mentioned by other respondents: Make sure your seat-belts are TIGHT. Then wriggle around a bit and tighten again. Tight belts will make any reduced-G sensation MUCH less uncomfortable. Have Fun!

Oh yes, I always ensure my seatbelt is good and tight after I flew through a thunderstorm over the straits of malacca on approach to kuala lumpur about five years ago.
