“Sully did something actually beyond his training and truly did something heroic.”

LOL, I’ve seen MANY here over the years disagree with that statement, but the piece of obama earned MY “respect” with this:

“Many” disagree. . .like who? Armchair fat-boys that spew on subjects they don’t know about (LOL).

Doubtful they are accomplished aviators, and likely never been shot-at, as well as feel a 45-degree banked turn is “acro.”

Anyone who flew jets and was ever is a position where their life and the lives of many others depended on their skills, skills that are not practiced in real life, those guys never would say anything denigrating Sully and his handling of the situation.

I know Sully, been involved with him in a few public events. Great guy. Skilled pilot flying a powered jet and all of a sudden becomes a glider pilot and flawlessly ditches a jet in the water, a maneuver that is known to be darned near impossible.

What he said about Trumps policy, like most people, if he stays in his lane he is great, good and respected. If he never said anything, like many of us told him to do, that would have been the proper thing to do.

As it is said; “Shut up and sing.” In this case, it is “Shut-up and fly the jet.”

Tell me what jets you’ve flown (LOL) and any IFE’s you experienced. Curious.

LOL
