"One way of looking at this might be that for 42 years, I've been making small, regular deposits in this bank of experience: education and training. And on January 15 the balance was sufficient so that I could make a very large withdrawal."
In 1969 he entered the United States Air Force Academy. In 1973 he graduated and received the Outstanding Cadet in Airmanship award, as the class "top flier."
In 2009, he published Highest Duty: My Search for What Really Matters , which "reveals the important lessons Sully learned through childhood, in his military service, and in his work as a commercial airline pilot.

God was with Sully and all the others on the plan that day. This blog made me smile. Thanks for the smile. Mom
