Flying and Dying - Paperback

by Tom P. Huitema (Author)

An irreverent kid is saved by flying. From a single-engine Cessna 150 to the captain's seat of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, he commits his career to serving others within his field. Captain Tom is at the pinnacle of his profession, traveling the globe, a social media influencer, and a health and fitness advocate. One night his life comes to a screeching halt when an undiagnosed heart defect triggers sudden cardiac arrest. After twenty minutes of CPR and seven defibrillator shocks, he is miraculously revived. Having had a profound afterlife experience, he returns to the living and reshapes his life to inspire others. No longer allowed to fly, he must forge a new path to complete his aviation legacy. "Flying and Dying" is the remarkable story of that journey.
