If this fear is really keeping him from flying, there's always fishing. I
put the same effort to avoid other aircraft that I put into avoiding other
cars when I drive. If that's too scary for him he just needs to take up
something he can handle.

In fishing, there's always the possibility of falling out of the boat and
getting eaten by alligators, piranha, sharks, bluegill...
