Sullenberger Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Reveals the important lessons Captain Chesley Sully Sullenberger learned through childhood, in his military service, and in his work as a commercial airline pilot. Publisher Description On January 15, 2009, the world witnessed one of the most remarkable emergency landings in history when Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger skillfully glided US Airways Flight 1549 onto the surface of the Hudson River, saving the lives of all 155 passengers and crew aboard. His cool actions not only averted tragedy but made him a hero and an inspiration worldwide. To Sullenberger, a calm, steady pilot with forty years of flying experience who is also a safety consulting expert, the landing was not a miracle, but rather the result of years of practice and training—wisdom he gained in U.S. Air Force jets and in his Texas childhood.Born to a dentist father and an elementary school teacher mother, Sully fell in love with planes as a young boy. He learned to fly at 16, taking lessons from a cropduster in a vintage airplane from a grass strip nearby. While his father, a World War II veteran, offered encouragement, he also imparted stern advice the future pilot took to heart: a commander is responsible for everyone in his care. They are words that have shaped Sullys life and work and continue to guide him today.At its heart, this is a story of hope and preparedness—supporting the belief that lifes challenges can be met if were ready for them—reminding us that, even in these challenging days, there are things still worth fighting for.
