""20. And I even think back to that. I'm like 20 years. I lost 20 years with this thing having power over me.""
Barker says it took him two decades to fly again after surviving a plane crash in which friends and pilots died. He describes how the fear dictated touring logistics, including cross-country bus travel and multiple transatlantic crossings by ship, before he eventually returned to air travel.
