Ugh, it took me way too long to figure out my last good deed that meets your criteria :/ I guess I should work on it.
A few years ago (!!!), I was out with a friend at our typical coffee house hangout one night, when an acquaintance came in who was quite visibly terrified. He was a regular too, but had run in that night because someone was threatening to beat him up. The person in question was standing outside the window with two others looking in, waiting for him to come back out. The owner walked up to his table and asked him not to come back for a week, apparently because of an almost-fight that had just occurred between him and the aggressor outside in front of the business.
My friend and I were curious, and asked what was going on. Apparently the fight was over him supposedly being suspiciously though-just-verbally friendly with the outside guy's girlfriend, and she told him that he was trying to seduce her or something like that (which, given the guy in question I highly doubt).
The strange thing about this deed is that I didn't even like this person. I had known him for perhaps a couple months by this time and he was always taking the piss or being condescending or whatever, although he wasn't really a major dick, just annoying. I decided to help anyways. I explained the situation to the owner, and asked if he could stay inside for a little while given the circumstances. My friend and I chatted with him a while longer to get him to relax, and after we decided it might be safe looked out the window again, only to see the same three guys "patrolling" the sidewalk. I asked my friend if she would walk him out to his car with me so it would be even numbers. She agreed, despite not liking him much either.
The dudes left us alone on our way out, and along the way Mike (oh that's his name btw) mentioned how odd he thought it was that we were helping him despite him being an ass since we'd known him. For that he apologised and said that he was grateful for us risking a beating to get him to safety. Once he left, we saw the perpetrators watching us from across the street. The main person involved in the situation was looking pretty angry, and I heard his friend say "Maybe we could just kick their asses instead", but they just ended up walking away. Mike was alright after that, even outwardly friendly to us.
That is the last selfless thing I've done that I can think of unfortunately
Also, one time I helped stop Skynet from forming \o/

Hope you guys can make it, and if your fear of flying is still persistent, why not ask for some sort of job shadow opportunity so you can be in the cockpit during the flight?
