Thank you for joining me for another year here at Fear of Landing. I’m looking forward to sharing more aviation stories with you in 2025!
Let’s gather in the comments! Tell me what you liked best or what you would like to see more of on Fear of Landing.
(if everyone says more guest posts, I will be miffed)

That’s some cool artwork!
The guest posts are a nice break from the usual, every so often, but I really come here for your in-depth and well-explained dissections of what went wrong.
So in other words, more of the same, and keep up the good work!
I still have nightmares over the horrifying one where the instruments went wrong and the pilots trusted them right into the ground.
Wishing you a happy and prosperous New Year Sylvia, hope you had a nice Christmas. Looking forward to what stories you have in store for us in 2025 š
Happy new year! Only discovered Fear of Landing a couple weeks ago but I’ve been backreading like mad. Thanks for being such an amazing writer :)
Have a Happy New Year!
From Alamo Heights, Texas, best wishes to you, Sylvia, and to all who visit here. Here’s hoping everyone on our little planet can live more peacefully in ’25.
I like the guest additions and the accident reports which provide great detail. Hopefully in 2025 there will be less accidents to report and less loss of life.
Wishing you and yours a healthy 2025 Sylvia, from another avid follower!
Sylvia, and her followers:
I wish you all a very Happy 2025 and happy landings !
May the only “Fear of Landing” be reading Sylvia’s blogs (or interesting guest stories) and may your REAL landings be without any fear. Be they your own landings, or with another pilot at the controls.
For myself: Landing as a passenger in an aircraft scares me shitless, and I am utterly fearless !
(Quote: the late Colonel Martin J. (Barney) Barnard (ret. USAF fighter pilot who used to sign his letters with WGFP (the World’s Greatest Fighter Pilot). No small claim, but he survived WW 2, Korea and Vietnam. That sums it up.
Thank you Barney for an unforgettable trip from Wichita in 1979 to a large part of South America and back, and a subsequent delivery flight to Schiphol, Amsterdam. You taught me how to properly fly a Citation, even to how roll it.
In Memoriam. Barney, rest in Peace.
