Whoopi Goldberg sheds her flying fears!

New York, Apr 17 : Whoopi Goldberg sheds her flying fears! is trying her best to beat her flying fears by travelling via air.

Last month, the `View' star shuttled back and forth to LA in a bus instead of taking a flight, when the show was being taped there for a week.

However, recently Goldberg managed to fly to London, where the musical version of the movie `Sister Act' will be previewed next month.

The actress took a private jet, and was accompanied by a doctor who stood by with needles and sedatives, if in case she panicked.

"I had a guy with me, but I didn''t need it. I''m kinda proud," the New York Post quoted her as saying.

The 53-year-old actress prepared for the flight after participating in a program run by Virgin Atlantic, where she sat down with a psychologist and a pilot.

And now the actress is so confident that she said: "I''m going to fly to the West Coast to surprise my daughter." (ANI)
