I say look at the statistics; chances are in your lifetime, you will NEVER get in a plane crash and a meteor will NEVER hit the earth :)

I'm afraid of things that are dead. Like roadkill or a bug with out its head (just felt a shiver go up my spine just now).
I've heard of people who have such a bad phobia of water that they have to but plastic or something over themselves when they shower. And people that have to put a hambuger in the blender and liquify it into a drink becaue they have a phobie of eating.
Yours is called Aviophobia and it's actually quite common. If it feels like it's putting a damper on your everyday life though, don't be afraid (lol) to talk to a psychologist about it, phobias can be cured.

I have a phobia of balloons and of deep water that I can see under (like aquariums...I do ok in the ocean!) Also I have a phobia of bees -.-
Basically the only way I've been able to get any better is to desensatize myself. Just subject myself to balloons/water/bees (shudder) repeatedly until I got just a little better at handling it (ie. I don't run screaming when I see a bee)

Force yourself to know that nothing bad will happen. I have a fear with spiders and I just have to know they are like other insects, which I am not afraid of.

I have an irrational fear of the name Monty. I'm also scared of spiders, bridges, swimming pools, and mini-vans.

Hey, I'm afraid of scooters, it can't get any worse than that, can it?
