The fighter jet came, and then I died

It's been 8 years but every time I see an airplane in the sky, everything comes back to me. I am afraid of airplanes, regardless of whether they are combat or civil aircraft. I have been living in Germany for 6 years but have never dared to get on a plane and travel with it.
