'Fear of Flying Clinic' helps anxious travelers back into the skies

Participants in the Fear of Flying Clinic walk up the boarding stairs and into a 787 as part of a four-day course to help ease their anxiety around air travel. Getting exposed to the sights and sounds of airplanes is one piece of that training.

For 50 years, a San Francisco-based group has created a space where fearful flyers can get supported exposure to air travel.
