Or get the plane off the ground.

In the early years of flight, many people had negative thoughts of flight and wouldn't set foot near an airplane.

She'd repeat this when a crash was reported in the news.
Didn't stop me, though. Look how many automobile crashes there have been; didn't stop her from getting in one on numerous occasions
