Fear of flying!

My husband started talking about flying to Las Vegas since Jan of this year. Hes flown before but I never have. Well now he bought the tickets to Vegas last week and now Im so scared of flying that I dont even want to go. I do, but I am so nervous. I started getting scared of flying ever since the airline accident of twa that exploded in the air about 10 years ago. Then 9/11 I was even more scared of flying. Two weeks ago, I had a nightmare of witnessing two jumbo jets that crashed in the field close to our home. I know our airlines have tight security, but just the thought of the airplane crashing or exploding, gives me the creeps. Were flying during the memorial weekend. I know I've never flown before and how do I know if I never been on a plane? But just thinking about it makes me so nervous that I feel like Im going to faint. How can I overcome this fear?
