Singpilot, Vanity Fair may be a source you don't normally trust, but the VF writer who deals with aviation subjects is William Langeweische, son of the much admired Wolfgang Langeweische ("Stick and Rudder") and an ATP with considerable experience. Trust him.

NYC media are all over this story - Sully's first line flight since Jan. Rush reassures us no birds in sight.

(Ooops - someone missed his requal trip on 11 Sept.)

Sully is supposed to be on this call-in radio talk show tomorrow, but don't have a link yet on their website. It should be available via the web live or as a rebroadcast.

Touring for his new book, so you'll see/hear a lot of him in the near term. Daily Show yesterday. Didn't hear much about the book, unfortunately.

Thanks, Shore Guy, definitely the best interview of Captain Sullenberger I've heard and unencumbered by applause and glitz.

Can't see the interview as requires Flash 9 and current software is Adobe flash 10 - so would need to downgrade to view it!

What an amazing guy! A truly gifted pilot..............brave, clever, cool........he will go down in history - that's for sure. His nerve, steel and experience is something to be admired, and he doesn't brag or boast about his skills and heroism - he plays it all down!

How proud we would all be to have done what he managed to do against all the odds!

Since it is a radio interview, I fear any version of flash will not be able to let you see the interview..

Sorry for the slightly off-topic post but he just did a TV spot this evening with his family for the Saint Jude (Cancer Center for children) and used the "hero" word somewhat self-deprecatingly (and ironically). Now that was brilliant, and it was using his new-found fame in just the right sort of way.

Maybe the guy really IS a hero of sorts, more for his behavior after the fact. An everyday sort of flying one, but one all the same. He really is the best thing for aviation since the Fowler flap or something ......

To me the thing is that he did everything that all pilots truly hope that they will do if God forbid happens.

A giant among aviators!

You can get the interview in a different format at http://www.wnyc.org/shows/lopate/episodes/2009/10/15 or download the podcast of Leonard Lopate's show (Sully's interlocutor, and a very good interviewer) from iTunes.

So so refreshing to hear an experienced and mature aviator speaking in such an informed and eloquent way about the state of the airline industry. An outstanding ambassador for the airline pilot profession.

If ever there's a role model to follow it has to be Sully.

I am glad that it was him, out of the many who would have managed the situation as well as he did (or even better, if that is possible), who was that day the pilot in command.
He is brilliant speaker and the best ambassador we could have.

I can't wait to read his "Highest Duty" and I hope I will attend one of his speeches one day and shake his hand.

Hail to you, Captain!
