Ever since my wife and I had a new baby, I developed a serious aversion to flying.  As a younger man, I used to travel for work and probably racked up close to 400k miles flying back and forth across the country (with little to no anxiety).  Recently though, I would start to feel pre-flight anxiety 3 or 4 days before a  flight and had pretty close to a panic attack when we flew for the first time with the new baby.  In lieu of finding a therapist, I'd thought I'd give this book a shot.  I can not recommend it enough.  You have to commit to working through the exercises, but once you do, I think you'll find it to be tremendously helpful.  I still get some pre-flight jitters, but with each flight it seems to be getting better.  I've found that working through the exercises again a few days prior to flying to be helpful as well.

I was very near the point of seriously cutting back on flying and/or resorting to some sort of drug to knock me out.  This book was a life-saver.

I love everything aviation and I loved this book. I am a maintainer invthe Air Force and I play foight simulators like Falcon BMS and xplane. I somewhat understand the pilot brevity and the difficulty to carry out a mission at least in a simulator. I recommend this book for those serious aviation nerds. For this book it would be better if the reader was familiar with pilot talk to fully understand what is being said.

As a retired flight attendant, I felt like I was inside the plane! Scary stuff, for sure. I imagined how I would deal with that situation. My son, also a flight attendant, and I flew together many times. I've laughing told him that if we were involved in an emergency landing, I would be yelling, "Come here and help your mother!!!"  Loved the book and loved the movie.

In preparing for a long flight across "the pond" I got some books to read on my Kindle. I hate flying and hoped reading would alleviate some of the anxiety. This book did a superb job of keeping my attention and making me less stressed about the flight. It's funny and addictive! I'm pretty sure if the plane went down I still wouldn't have stopped reading. I couldn't wait to get to the end to see what was going to happen to all these fantastic characters!

I also think it would make a great movie!! And I hope there might be a sequel coming too! *fingers crossed*

I love this book. I recently accepted a job opportunity to be a flight attendant.  I haven't started training yet but this helped me not feel to afraid to go. This will be a real comfort to me when I'm not to sure what to do or how to deal.

Mostly I have a fear of flying over oceans.  In search for a book to help me through a future flight, I found this one and couldn't help myself.  Though it is not a "overcoming fear" book, it does offer helpful information for someone like me that flies with trepidation and a fascination in the industry and flight (in general).  I definitely recommend this book!

Trusting Flight, is one of the best books I've read this year it is my favorite of the Flight series by Heather Sharp. You will not be able to put this book down, the author paints a picture of suspense and romance with her words. While reading I felt as if I was in her story, my own emotions ran wild with fear and passion. This is one book you will want to read over and over. I can't wait for what is to come next!

Just finished reading Flavell's book.  Unbeknownst to Flavell, his career path crossed my brother's career path!  My brother, Jim McCartney, a retired airline pilot, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in August 2010.  He survived for 18 months and during that time, we collaborated to write a book about his career as an airline pilot while documenting his treatment for pancreatic cancer.  I was surprised when Flavell wrote of piloting the inaugural flight of New York Air.  He refers to the fact that Continental pilots picketed the inaugural New York Air flights.  My brother was on that picket line and he documents his view of the incident in our book, "Jim McCartney: My Life in Flight."  I am sure there are many pilots who pursued aviation careers without the "proper" background and without the benefit of military flight training.  My brother also ended his airline career at the mandatory age 60 retirement and became a flight instructor in order to stay with the aviation he loved.  I'm sure George and Jim would have loved to exchange pilot stories!&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Adventure-of-Becoming-an-Airline-Pilot/dp/0741431300/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Adventure of Becoming an Airline Pilot</a>

John Trotti tells hi story  of flying in combat from the pilots perspective. His details of flying makes you almost feel like you are there with him. He also accounts on stupidity that command placed on fighter  operations in Vietnam which of course diluted the efforts of the air  war. You will feel the action and the dangers he face flying day to day into  the flak and SAM's. After reading this book, you will realize how stupid we  were to force these men to fight with their hands tied.  Related to this  book are two books by Col. Broughton. Thud Ridge and Going Downtown.

What a brilliant book! Flying is a fear of many children and adults, so this book is designed to ease the first flight.  It is definitely a didactic book, and children will be drawn to the colorful scenes.  Well done, Ms. Harmon.

As a pilot I found a lot of what is in the book known - but thought the entire read thru it would be an incredible book for those who have always wanted to fly or have an interest in flying.  I found the style very enjoyable and easy to read.  He uncomplicated many complicated aspects of aviation and navigation.  Well done and I highly recommend this for anyone with an interest in aviation or even airline travel.  Well Done!

Breathtaking thriller based upon a true story of an Air Force pilot shot down in enemy territory. The book is frightening and believable. The injured pilot walked and hid in dangerous land with enemy forces actively looking for him! This book is a must read! Thanks to all who serve! I love this book, Thanks***

Couldn't put this book down even though it was frightening to turn each page. Do not read this book without a friend being nearby (in case you have a heart attack while reading). I was shaking when I finished this book.

Looking forward to reading another book by Michael McBride and being scared out of my head again.  Just bought four more of his books.  Can hardly wait to stop shaking so I can begin another adventure with Michael.

I bought this book last year after years of flying with stress, panic and anxiety.

As soon as I read the book many of my previous concerns disappeared.

This book is very informative and made me feel extremely secure with flying.

I have suffered from anxiety my entire life, and I can't say enough about how glad I am that I bought Flying Without Fear.

In fact, I'm going to read it again before my next trip!
