This link will take you to the 'Documentation' section, where the presentations at the Conference are listed, many with links to a .pdf file with images.

There's a cornucopia of information here. You'll have to be willing to wade through bullet points and graphs and statistics, but with a little patience you'll find plenty to ponder on such topics as airline personnel responsiveness to FoF, terrorism and security, the physiology of anxiety, how FoF develops, age and gender distribution in the population, and FoF seminar participants' flying patterns before and after the seminar. There's even some profound wisdom from Calvin and Hobbes.

I'll paste a few favorite presentation links here and add to them as I go through them myself. Please go to the site for an evening's entertainment! :tongue:

Wow...thanks for posting those, Aerobat Barb. I hope I'll soon have some time to settle in and read some of them. Did you find anything that Reid Wilson presented?

I didn't notice Reid's name among the presenters...but I have not looked that closely. :) I trust you saw that Michael Tomaro is very prominently featured.

Current progress in treatment of fear of flying
Dr. Michael Tomaro with a panel of Drs. Josine Arondeus, Dr. Robert Wolfger, Sascha Thomas, MSc., Elaine Iljon Foreman, MSc.

Indeed, I was just going through the list of presenters, and came across it, and was going to copy and paste it here...and viola...you've already noted it. He's the psychologist who has a Fear of Flying program in Madison, Wisconsin, and also has a FoF video program (which I used, and found it to be instrumental in getting me "ungrounded").

Here's another familiar name...Virtual reality and Web 2.0 technologies in the Independent Practice Setting - a Pragmatic approach
Les Posen, MSc

And another....The crew's role when carry-on baggage is fear of flying
Captain Ron Nielsen

I'll bet this was a very interesting conference. I'll be trying to work my way through some of the articles...glad you have made it a "sticky" so we can all find it easily.
