Very cool link indeed, do you have a link for the other crew members? The FO, and all flight attendants?

I'd imagine they all did a great job today...

Would be hard to find a more qualified pilot to land that plane!

It would be hard to find a better place on the face of the Earth to ditch.

Move over Chuck Norris - crew of USAIR 1549 now ranks above you
Last edited by DamonMeyer; 01-15-2009 at 06:26 PM. Reason: The entire crew clearly deserves Chuck Norris status.

Holy crap that dude is the MAN!!! I don't remember ever hearing such high praise for a pilot, and on CNN no less. This guy responds to a controllers request to "squawk ident" with a roundhouse kick to the face

The FO and FAs had to be in on this guys. Let's not heap all the praise on the Capt. They all did a fantastic job.
