5.0 out of 5 stars If you hate to fly, this is the book for you!, March 15, 2007

By	J. McAuley - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've spent the last several years flying because I have to, but dreading each and every minute of it. Every year my fear of being in a plane has gotten worse and worse. When my job changed and I found myself on planes almost every week instead of once or twice a year, I knew I had to do something about it. And I found Ray's book.

Ray teaches you everything you could want to know about flight. As a frightened passenger, its helpful to know that specific noises are normal and regular. And if something isn't normal and regular, its helpful to know what other things a pilot has in his or her arsenal to keep you safe. Most fearful flyers are dealing with that complete loss of control and Ray does an amazing job at giving people back their sense of control and their sense of safety in flight.

Since reading Ray's book I have been all over the place on planes, though I would have been even without this book. The difference now is that I can get up and walk around. I can be like any other passenger on the plane, enjoying the movie, talking to the people around me, and not gripping the arm rest and thinking we are about to crash. And what's better, I can look out the window when I fly now. Ray, you are right, it really is beautiful down there.

So Captain Stark, thank you for giving me the freedom of the skies. And for any other fearful flyer out there, give Ray's book a try. It will be the best investment you have made in getting through your fear.

Capt. Ray is great at easing your fears of flying. He used to post on a message board for fear of flying a while back and was awesome there as well. Well done book, a must for anyone who is afraid to fly or is an anxious flyer.
