This account, however, also includes the unmistakable presence of the Hand of God. This edition, Angel Flight 44: The True Story of Two Dedicated Pilots, a 60-Year-Old Airplane, and the Amazing Hurricane Katrina Mission That Birthed a New Aviation Ministry, is a book born out of flight missions that saved countless lives by the grace of God. In the midst of the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina, storm-ravaged residents of Louisiana cried out to Heaven for help. Love's answer to their prayers soon descended from the heavens.in the shape of a very big airplane. The miraculous adventure of humanitarian relief that pilot Glen Hyde and copilot Denny Ghiringhelli experienced is a remarkable tale of mercy in the face of catastrophe, and the love of God expressed through His supernatural intervention. Two world-renowned ministries partnered with a veteran aviator and his Douglas Super DC-3, an American Airlines 767 captain, numerous corporations, and a storm-wearied pastor in Slidell, Louisiana, to obey a call from God to help hurting people.
