End Of An Era!


By Kelly - Posted on 04 March 2010

This man captured our hearts just over a year ago, and now he's calling it a day. Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, the pilot who landed a disabled passenger plane on New York's Hudson River in 2009, piloted his last flight for US Airways on Wednesday.


Not sure if you agree, but to me this is a great loss to the world of aviation. There's been so many complaints in recent years of pilots who are not as experienced as they should be flying these massive jumbo liners, that having someone as experienced as Captain Sullenberger in the cockpit has been a blessing. The good news is that it sounds like Captain Sullenberger will try to do important work for the aviation field from the ground, including pushing for more experienced pilots.

Have a wonderful day!
