Ask the Captain: Which airport is toughest for night landings? Can aircraft avoid turbulence?
Are you friends with Capt. Sully?
– T.W., Los Angeles
Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger and I have known each other since the late ’80s. We worked together on safety issues at US Air/US Airways. Yes, we are friends and try to see each other when we can.
He is a great spokesman for aviation.
