Testimonials from Former Fearful Flyers
"I never realized I could be so free..."
"I just recently flew to England..."
"Taking your class has changed my life..."
"Now I dream of flying all the time..."
Success stories! Yes, we like to hear them, and we love sharing the unsolicited and heartfelt testimonials from new fearless flyers to encourage other fearful flyers that YES, fear of flying can be overcome. Many people have become better flyers through our live classes, downloadable Cleared for Takeoff webinar, Chicken Soup Presents the Fearless FlightKit, and personal coaching of Capt. Ron. The following are a few samples of email from former fearful flyers:
"I felt frantic and fearful as the plane taxied down the runway and then that was it! V-1! I was in the air! Suddenly I felt strangely calm and wonderful! I DID IT—with the help of Capt. Ron getting me through the "bumps" and the fears. I looked out the window and saw the earth below...it was so peaceful! I felt like I could do anything now! Overcoming my fear of flying has changed my life overall since that day. In the past I had never dreamed of flying...now I dream of flying all the time!"
—Kelly G.
"I attended several classes including the "graduation flight" several years ago. If it had not been for the class, overcoming fear of flying, I may have never flown again. About 15 years ago I experienced a frightening panic attack on a flight to Chicago; I remained "grounded" for over 12 years. I will admit that I was scared to death about the graduation flight. Aboard the plane I sat next to a lady who was terrified. I found myself talking to her and explaining all of the various noises, attitudes of the plane, procedures etc., that we experienced during the flight. It calmed both of us down enough that we both enjoyed the flight. I have flown about a dozen times to both coasts since."

"When I first came to [Ron] I was ready to face my fears head on, for my life had become too limited. I had missed out on so many family gatherings for so many years. I am happy to say that this year's fishing trip is out of Seattle and I am going with them! I cannot tell you how thankful I am for Ron and the class for the fear of flying solutions that got me through a difficult obstacle in my life. Thank you again for everything!"
—Kaine
"Taking your class has truly changed my life. Since taking the class, I have taken several national flights and just recently flew to England! I won't say I'm completely "over it"-the fear-but I bring my notes and Ron's words of wisdom come back to me. I recommend your class for overcoming fear of flying to anyone who is struggling with flying and hope that they too will be able to live with a new sense of freedom! Thank you!"

"I had to go on our corporate jet to Dallas yesterday and come back today. I did well on the trip there! When the turbulence hit I remembered one of the fear of flying solutions and actually tried to enjoy the turbulence! I enjoyed the class...I felt confident and relaxed after listening to Ron! Thank you!"
—Carol K.
"In 2003 I flew from Phoenix to Miami and back, Phoenix to London and then Milan to Phoenix, Cabo and back, and Oahu and back! Thanks to you all I am enjoying life again! You can see what I have been missing by not overcoming fear of flying."
—Dan C.
"I had gone 23 years and not flown due to fear; then I had made a few trips in the last few years, but was petrified beyond belief. This past weekend I took my first flight since the class. I went to Dallas with my straw and CD in hand. I used the straw and I did not hyperventilate as in the past. The fear of flying solutions really worked! I reminded myself of EVENT+RESPONSE=OUTCOME as I reviewed my class notes prior to take-off. I was so much more relaxed as I remembered Capt. Ron's calm manner and the lessons I learned from him. I did not even need to use the CD, but felt so good just knowing I had the crutch with me in case I should need it. I was calm when I observed the usual noises and sights that previously sent me in a tizzy. I did not react hysterically amid the turbulence. My "Coach" was with me on the flight and was wonderful in helping me! It was such a contrast compared to my flights before the class. I tell everyone about the class and what a positive, powerful experience it has been for me. I know that this is something that I need to keep working on, but I feel I have the tools to do so. Thank you so much."
