Landing a B17 Flying Fortress in poor visibility

Those guys WERE/ARE Heroes. Hero, it is a word that is bandied about so much now it has almost lost it's meaning. Swimming heroes, footy heroes, send a herogramme to the athletes at the Olympics. Now we have another pseudo hero sailing back into Sydney Harbour after her heroic adventure around the 7 seas.

I think even Sully might agree that he wasn't a hero. He just displayed an incredible amount of skill for an event he trained his whole life for but hoped would never happen. He, and others like him, deserve all the accolades they get and more but unless he had dived back into a sinking cabin to rescue a trapped passenger and put his life in danger in the process I personally do not believe the word hero should be applied.

Sorry, got carried away with my rant and may have strayed too far off topic. Apologies to the Forum Mod for the increased workload if this post needs to be deleted.

The real heroes march on ANZAC Day every year.
