I have NO CLUE as to what this guy did other than landing that plane on the Hudson.

But by the title of the book (searching for what really matters) I could see a story along the lines of loving airplanes as a kid, going into the airforce and fighting (is he old enough for Vietnam?) All sorts of stuff in there on “what really matters”.

Then coming back home - flying cargo planes maybe? Private jets? Commerical airplanes.

Again - I have no clue. But I bet the conclusion of the book (and his life story) is that not even his safe landing of the plane is the culmination of “what matters”. It will probably be how he did things along the way, and how he treated people.

I would go see a movie like that.

Sully was in my class ('73) at the Air Force Academy. Vietnam had pretty much wrapped up by the time we graduated.
