Timeless Testimony: Atheist Pilot Mocked God — Until He Ran Out of Fuel in a SnowstormThere was no earthly reason his plane should have traveled such a distance with no fuel. Pilot believes God added an hour of fuel to the tanks to save his life.
"I was a God mocker," says Mark Rose, founder of Genesis Alive, and the author of Last of the Long Hunters, a story of the pilots who fly the Alaskan Arctic. Rose learned to fly at 16, and by age 22 had become a bush pilot who helped to take care of a fleet of helicopters that worked on the Alaska pipeline. "My ego meter was on 101," he admits. One day he flew some hunters to the upper part of a large river on the Arctic. But on his return flight, carrying one passenger, several things went wrong. First, herds of caribou had moved in, covering his first and second choices for a landing spot. Then he began to run low on fuel, so he called ahead for a weather check at the small airport near Kotzebue, on the Baldwin Peninsula. "Come on in, the weather's fine," the FAA flight service operator told him. He decided to take the chance his fuel would hold out, but then weather conditions changed dramatically. "I ran into a snowstorm at night, and I couldn't see the terrain, so I had to follow the gray ribbon of river below." In the days before satellite weather imaging, the man had given him bad advice. "All my options were evaporating as fast as I could fly." Rose had several friends—fellow pilots—who perished in similar flying conditions. There must be a way out, he thought. I don't want to die at 22. I won't get to experience marriage… He had been flying on empty for 30 minutes. Then the engine started missing. "I was just waiting for silence and to have to crash at night."
Then a Voice spoke to him that was crystal clear. Son, you said the right thing. After he heard the Voice, Rose also experienced the sensation of "a light bulb" that came on in his mind. Immediately after his prayer, the plane popped out of the snowstorm! "Before me were the beautiful lights of Kotzebue— it might as well have been the lights of Heaven," he recalls. There was only one problem—he still had to fly another 20 miles over the Kotzebue Sound, a broad expanse of salt water north of the Bering Sea.
