						<p>Getting back on the horse — or jet, in this case. <strong><strong>Travis Barker</strong></strong> has been vocal about his fear of flying since he survived a 2008 airplane crash, but he returned to the skies with girlfriend <strong><strong>Kourtney Kardashian</strong></strong> by his side on Saturday, August 14.</p>


<p>The Blink-182 rocker, 45, was spotted getting on a flight with the Poosh founder, 42. The couple were joined by Kourtney’s mother, <strong><strong>Kris Jenner</strong></strong>, and Kris’ boyfriend, <strong><strong>Corey Gamble</strong></strong>. The four boarded<strong> <strong>Kylie Jenner</strong></strong>‘s private jet — which features her name in bold pink letters — from Los Angeles to Cabo, according to photos obtained by <strong>TMZ</strong>.</p>
<p>Barker was an hour late for the flight to Mexico, the outlet reports. It isn’t clear what delayed him, but the drummer has made his fear of flying well known.</p>
<p>His last flight <strong>resulted in a plane crash in September 2008</strong>. After a South Carolina show, Barker was on a private plane when the tires blew out during takeoff, overran the runway and hit an embankment, causing a fire. The accident killed Barker’s security guard Charles “Che” Still and assistant Chris Baker as well as pilot Sarah Lemmon and co-pilot James Bland. <strong>Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein</strong> survived the crash but died after a drug overdose nearly a year later, leaving Barker as the only living survivor.</p>


<p>Though he escaped alive, Barker wasn’t unscathed. He was covered in jet fuel and was on fire. Goldstein helped put out the flames, but Barker was left with third-degree burns on 65 percent of his body. After three months in the hospital with 26 surgeries and many skin grafts, Barker’s lifelong fear of flying was at an all-time high.</p>

<p>The father of two — he <strong>shares son Landon</strong>, 17, and <strong>daughter Alabama</strong>, 15, with ex-wife <strong><strong>Shanna Moakler</strong></strong> — struggled with PTSD after the deadly accident. He only traveled by car, train and boat. He even took transatlantic cruises to Europe several times.</p>

		<p>However, he revealed to the magazine that he fantasized about the day he’d safely fly again.</p>
<p>“If I do it, and the angels above help me in my travels and keep me safe, I would like to come back and [tell my kids], ‘Hey, I just flew here, and then I flew home. And everything was fine.’ I have to tell them, because I almost left them,” Barker explained. “That’s a perfect day.”</p>
<p>He hinted earlier this summer that travel plans were coming together. “I might fly again ✈️,” he <a href="https://twitter.com/travisbarker/status/1408472180736741377">tweeted</a> on June 25.</p>


<p>The musician and Kourtney have traveled plenty with trips to see <strong>UFC fights in Las Vegas</strong>, skiing <strong>in Park City, Utah</strong>, swimming in Montecito, California, and the desert in Canyon Point, Utah. The reality TV personality doesn’t mind <strong>taking a long car ride</strong> with her beau.</p>
<p>Since they <strong>started dating in late 2020</strong>, the two have only gotten closer. “<strong>They’re very much in love</strong> and are deeply connected as a couple,” a source told <em>Us Weekly</em> exclusively in July. “Their bond is unbreakable at this point.”</p>
<p>In April, another insider revealed, “Friends think they absolutely will be <strong>getting engaged sooner rather than later</strong>.”</p>
