Chesley Sullenberger III. What a name - I understand they call him Sully.

Would someone please find this guy a job in the FAA - or TSA - or any other alphabet soup agency that will have him?

Someone knows his bizness, oh very yes indeed.

EDIT: OMG HE'S GORGEOUS. Chuck Yeager, eat your heart out:

Information that I've seen suggested that he's been an accident investigator and similar things during his career. I suspect that he will be tapped for some good things, and soon...

My morning news source, as always:

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=99450222

That's the story on the big thing, and it includes background on the pilot.

That's the photo on his consulting website which also has his impressive resume.

He even looks the part of a serious pilot. My instinct tells me he's very nice in real life also, but perhaps a bit fussy about things being just so.

My dad flies for USAirways. He knows this guy.

He ever show up at LAX, he gets chocolate. Just saying.

Seriously! Same goes for SFO. This dude's my hero.

The local news did a piece on him today citing not only his qualifications as an aviator, but his participation in the local community (he lives in my area- I've probably flown over his neighborhood a few times).

Truly a pilot's pilot.

If he has a Facebook, I am so there. Any of his friends, too.

He is one class act.

Which doesn't get HALF the attention it should. That's the way you do it, you PIKERS! *shakes fist at FEMA*
