FLIGHT TO HEAVEN - A Pilot's True Story

Normally I'm a skeptic regarding heavenly experiences, but Flight to Heaven is different. I was taken by complete surprise. This book is a masterpiece. Without doubt the most complex, yet believable, account of heaven, the love of God and the afterlife that I've ever read. This is a must read, 5-Star adventure, destined to be a movie.

This Book REALLY Touched Me - I Cried Through Most of It!

I have just finished Flight to Heaven and cried almost all the way through. I’m not even sure why. The book touched me in ways that I can’t yet describe. I completely enjoyed this read. When Capt. Dale awoke from the coma he saw the nurses and doctors thru God’s eyes I’m convinced. Reading Flight to Heaven has blessed my heart and made me think more about my own life and what I need to do to live more effectively, with more passion and purpose. I’ve ordered more copies as gifts. I’m not only glad I read the book, I’m no longer quite the same person as when I started reading it.

Help and Hope - Found Inside!

I just finished reading Flight to Heaven by Capt. Dale Black and once I started - I could not put it down. Flight to Heaven was the most moving and yet inspirational book I have ever read. And I do mean – EVER! After reading this book I am completely convinced Capt. Black’s story is true and heaven is a real place after all. Any reader can find help and hope inside this book.

“Flight to Heaven” is a true story that is both a page-turner and a faith-learner. The author, tells how after being involved in a deadly 1969 plane crash his life was irrevocably altered. The dramatic event had taken him on a journey that most of us have likely not yet taken—to heaven and back again. Cautioned by his grandfather not to commercialize his so sacred experience, the author told no one else for almost 40 years. His subsequent physical struggles and growth in faith through having been given a glimpse of heaven are deeply inspiring. I highly recommend this true life account to everyone who desires to have their faith lifted just as it did mine.

A Definite 5-Stars for “Flight To Heaven”

I purchased this book as a gift for my dad but soon after I returned home I discovered a real problem existed. I couldn't put it down. What an awesome read! I am going to order several copies of Flight to Heaven to distribute to our pastor and church members, as well as all around our area, at hospitals, airports, libraries, etc. My father and I are also airline pilots, though he is now retired. Both of us have finished reading the book and rate it easily as 5 stars. The aviation aspects of the book were professional and technically accurate, yet the emphasis throughout is on a loving God. Flight to Heaven speaks to readers on many levels and is why this book is at the top of our list.
I have started to read Flight to Heaven for the second time. There is so much there, so much to draw you in, so many amazing tidbits. God is AMAZING and so awesome. We recommend the book to anyone looking for Truth.

Dear Capt. Black,

My son gave me your book for Father’s Day. I have been a pilot at US Airways 32 years and, like you, I spent many years in the training department for our airline. I also helped in the development of CRM and the Critical Incident Response Program. I have that same love of flying that you do. Folks not in the industry can’t fully quite sense what we’re talking about, huh?

I want to thank you for writing your inspiring book. Your book taught me that prayers are indeed answered – even when we don’t always quite understand it. At any rate, I applaud you for your courage. , We have a group called Pilot’s for Christ that I am going to put a plug in to read your book. I just wanted you to know that you, and God, have given me peace and courage for a new chapter in my life.

God bless you,
Capt. Randy Hass
Major US Airline Captain - Pittsburgh, PA

READ THIS BOOK - YOU WILL BE CHANGED - in a VERY GOOD WAY!! 

I have spoken to several people who have read Flight to Heaven and each person I’ve talked with has said the same thing, "You cannot read this book without being changed". The chapters that describe Capt. Black’s journey to Heaven are fascinating and difficult to assimilate, yet they are described brilliantly. Reading about the level of faith that the author had, even at age 19, validates his Heavenly experience in my mind. But there are so many aspects of this story. At first I felt ashamed about my current lack of faith. Moments later I became challenged to do better in my own life. I have already purchased copies for friends. This is a HIGHLY recommended read. Easy 5 Stars in my book.

Wow! Where do I even begin? The details of this book were so incredible that I felt as if I was on this journey as I read. This story has edified my faith that God is who He says He is and will do what He said He will do!! Aside from the Bible, this is by far the best book I have ever read!! It enveloped me from beginning to end. I wanted to read slowly to grasp it all and yet I found myself reading it quickly as I couldn't wait to read what was going to happen next. For anyone who is searching for the truth about life and afterlife, this book is for you. It is a true, incredible, detailed encounter of God's ultimate love for His creation and the future plans He has for you!

I just finished reading "Flight to Heaven" and I must say, the book was a masterpiece in my opinion anyway. It was a real blessing to learn of Capt. Black's experiences and I can't wait to share it with others. I have learned more about what Heaven will be like and I've been challenged to "upgrade" my relationship with God. I will be buying more copies for friends at work.

THIS BOOK IS A MUST READ!!!  I’ve read several books on the subject of heaven - but Flight to Heaven is by far the best. “Flight to Heaven” is NOT just another book about heaven and the afterlife, you see. You will be taken on a journey - to heaven - and then back, but this is NOT the whole story. Capt. Black has written a true, validated and believable story that is a page-turner PLUS a faith-builder. How Capt. Dale was permanently affected by the traumatic experience in heaven is profoundly inspirational! Careful not to commercialize his sacred experience, the author told only his grandfather - for almost 40 years. The author tried to “live” his experience rather than talk about it. And for 40 years that’s just what he did. And wow! Can’t wait to learn what happens next. I’m sure there will be more books from this author.

Flight to Heaven will not only hold your interest, it will inspire and encourage you too. Certain to become a best seller, I have recommended this book to my church as well as all my family. If you are curious to know what Heaven is like, read this book. If you are curious about near-death experiences, read this book. If you want to learn how to deepen your relationship with God, read this book! If you want to learn about how God can do the miraculous, read this book!

Recommended reading to anyone. I’m buying more copies for family and friends at church. This is a GREAT book. Very well written and I so glad I read it.

In "Flight To Heaven", Captain Dale Black has put to paper one of the most incredile stories of survival, recovery and faith that you will ever read, and that's before he even tells you about heaven.

As a young pilot in training, Dale was a passenger in a small jet with two other experienced pilots. Just after takeoff, the plane clipped a grove of trees which diverted its path and they slammed into a seven-story monument known as "The Portal of The Folded Wings," which ironically is a memorial to famous aviators who have passed away. The other two pilots died from the impact of the crash, but Dale somehow survived and was rescued and brought to the hospital. What follows in the book is a two-sided story: one of recovery from massive and brutal injuries, and one of a brief but mesmerizing view of Heaven.

Being somewhat of a skeptical person, I have generally held a cynical view of claims people have made about going to heaven temporarily and returning back to earth. However, after having the pleasure of meeting Dale and then reading his book, I have no doubt that his story is true. The man is the definition of genuine, and to me the most striking part of his story is that he waited 40 years to tell anyone about it. While some people have attempted to cash in or commercialize their out-of-body experiences, Dale kept his a secret from everyone except his grandfather for four decades. Imagine having experienced Heaven and not telling anyone about it! But this particular aspect of the story made me truly believe.

As far as Dale's descriptions of heaven, they are truly breathtaking. I won't try to do them justice here or recap them, but rest assured that you will be mesmerized and inspired by his experience with the afterlife. It's hard to know what to say after reading it; but you will come away with a sense of awe and wonder, and longing to hear more about it.

The other half of Dale's incredible story has to do with his physical recovery after his Heavenly experience. His injuries were so severe that most would not have survived at all. Evel Knievel's doctor was called in due to the nature of the injuries, and he took on a challange that most would have given up on. The relationship that grows between Dale and the doctor is one of the most touching parts of the book, and the ending of that subhead is gratifying. What comes across very clearly in reading about the injuries and recovery process is the depth of Dale's faith, even as a young man. He refused to give up in the face of insurmountable odds; even with setback after setback. However, Dale's story is also one of human doubts, and his frustration with God and doubt through the recovery are there, and this makes him all the more real. Who wouldn't doubt God through such an arduous and painful process? But God continued to show his power and plan to Dale through his recovery; and this is extremely interestin to read about.

The way this book is written is phenomenal considering the subject matter; and it is definitely very difficult to put down. The ending to the story is incredible, and I won't give it away here. But you will come away with amazement at Dale's life and story, and also at his faith and God's faithfulness to him. An incredible person and an incredible story.

Normally I avoid these kinds of books but this book was different. I loved it from the very first page. It rings of truth. It’s honest, pure and innocent but packed with power to inspire any reader. I bought many copies and have given them to family and friends. You simply must read this book.

I was given an advance copy of Flight to Heaven by a friend, having read no less than fifty books about life after death, heaven and NDE (near death experiences). Without doubt Flight to Heaven by Capt. Dale Black is the most comprehensive description of heaven I’ve ever read. The book kept me on the edge of my seat from cover to cover but the concepts regarding heaven were a little deep for me at first. The story was very credible, even to my critical mind, but as such, I was not able to fully comprehend the magnitude of the heavenly experience without reading those chapters twice. I strongly encourage anyone searching to understand more about the God and life hereafter to read this book. In fact, you should read it twice.
