365 Days of Python: Day #53 — Flying Fears

Aerophobia is the fear of flying, and some sources claim that this fear affects roughly 25 million adults in the U.S.

But flying in an airplane in one of the safest means of transportation available, so what is there to fear?

Obviously, the biggest fear of those with aerophobia is the chance of crashing. However, the last fatal plane crash in the U.S. was in Colgan Air Flight 3407 on February 12, 2009 (which was almost 14 years ago).

Day #53 (1/6/2023)

“The airplane stays up because it doesn’t have the time to fall.”

— Orville Wright

Accomplishments

• Continued reviewing some of the libraries that I learned at the beginning of this challenge (Matplotlib, SciPy, and PyGame)

Weekly Goals

• Write a program that calculates a monthly budget based on net monthly income and spending habits (0%)

Closing Thoughts

Personally, I am a fan of a flying.

The only times that I am anxious are during takeoff and while landing. In my opinion, though, this is fair considering that 64% of fatal crashes occur during these maneuvers.
