  1. There was a book written many years ago by Tom Wolf called "The Right Stuff" it was about pilots like Captain Kevin Sullivan and Captain Sully Sullenberger who had the ability to maintain their composure under extreme adverse circumstances and still perform their duties as captains of their aircraft. The book was made into a movie called "The Right Stuff", the book is excellent and the movie was good too. "The Right Stuff" was something these pilots had, but it could not be defined exactly what was "The Right Stuff". It did have something to do with their ability, skill, intelligence, intuition, and a lot of luck. A good part of the book was about the great test pilot Chuck Yeager a former United States Air Force officer, WW2 flying ace, and record-setting test pilot. In 1947, he became the first pilot confirmed to have exceeded the speed of sound in level flight. Sullivan and Sullenberger deserve all the honor and acknowledgment that can be bestowed upon them, the saved the lives of themselves, their crew, and their passengers, and in my opinion they are heroes.

  2. CAPTAIN KEVIN SULLIVAN IS A HERO Sullivan is a former US Navy F-14 fighter pilot and has the "Right Stuff" that saved the lives of the his passengers and crew aboard the Quantas flight QF72. Kevin has a timely message about the dangers of autonomous flight controls, as the Airbus A330 has a fly-by-wire Flight Control Primary Computer that went rouge and tried to kill the passengers and crew of flight QF72. It was Kevin's military experience and training that saved their lives. The Captain and First Officer are the ultimate safety backup system for commercial airplanes, seasoned pilots with military experience are preferable.
