Flying is so darn serious. I think that to some extent, the seriousness of it all is what helps to feed the fear that people often feel. The whole atmosphere makes it seem like something bad is going to happen, which is why, if I am to conquer this fear, I need to figure out how to perceive the atmosphere differently or change my perspective. I remember one flight that I took where I was still quite scared but felt a little more at ease because the pilot was joking around. I remember thinking, if he has time and is comfortable with joking around, then everything must be ok.
Bringing humor to flying is going to be key for me, and it might be key for you as well.
I'd say watching this George Carlin video on airplane safety is a good start:
