UPDATE SEPT 2: Ah, it's called Aviophobia. Wikipedia has a an extensive explaination of the syndrome. It also listed among the notable people who suffer from it, including: Isaac Asimov, Dennis Bergkamp, Doris Day, The Dalai Lama, David Eddings, Aretha Franklin, Jackie Gleason, Jackie Jensen, Kim Jong-Il, Stanley Kubrick, Li Ao, Loretta Lynn, John Madden, Alan Price, Matthew Sweet, Billy Bob Thornton, Agnetha Fältskog, Wayne Coyne and Lars von Trier.
