Big salute to captain Sullenberger!
Make that two, Gary!!!!!!
That man is a hero in every sense of the word.
I think they ought to appoint him to replace Hillary.
Any landing you can walk away from is a good one!
Simulators don’t always get it right either. I remember an Air Force C-141 in Australia that had a severe problem right after takeoff.
The Starlifter had just taken off when the #3 (inboard right) engine suffered a compressor stage failure. Fan blades shed by the engine took out the #4 engine, starting fuel leaks in the wing, and starting a fire in the cargo hold.
The pilot quickly went to max power on #1 & 2 engines, retracted the landing gear to clean up the plane, and lowered the nose to keep the minimum airspeed he had. The airspeed stayed just barely above stall. The pilot very slowly retracted the flaps as the airspeed inched up. The pilot at very low altitude made a slow turn to return to the airport. He was so low neither the tower or radar could see him.
The load masters manged to put out the fire in the cargo bay.
The pilot was able to return and make a safe landing.
This was put into the C-141 flight simulator and guess what. No other crew was able to return and make a safe landing.

Mike, good idea, I second the motion. Everyone in favor say aye….aye!
I bet captain Sullenberger paid his taxes and didn’t hire an illegal maid!
Aye aye!
Sully should be rewarded or awarded – something special should be done for this guy.
And don’t forget his crew…
Plus, he’s better looking than Shrillary.
Come on Gary you have to love her cankles!
LMAO, cankles? Now we know why Altlas shrugged, Hillary has a better foundation than him.
Had to look that up, I had never heard the term.
he he he
I’m gonna see how many times I can work that word into conversations tomorrow.
AYE, what a job. I was told he was heading bach to KFC because he lost a wing, see, all rumors are bullshit. This guy is a hero.
count me in too HELL YEA
AYE
Cankles, Gary is what happens when a woman’s calves, and her ankles become one mass instead of two.
