If I’m in an airplane, I don’t have any fear of the altitude at all. What I don’t like is when I'm out in the open at a unsatisfying height. Whether that is at the top of a building or on the edge of a cliff. For example, If I was on the top floor of the Burj Khalifa next to the window looking out, I'd be fine. But if that window wasn't there, I'd fuck right off.
