A tale of two pilots

We all remember this fellow.

 

Chesley Sullenberger honored crop.jpg

A hero in every sense of the word.  After losing both engines in a suicide attack by Radical Fundamentalist Canadian Geese (RFCG), he was able to set down his plane in the Hudson River with no loss of life.

He received much acclaim for his actions.

They even made a movie about it.

 

As we have heard there was another in flight incident involving a catastrophic engine failure.

Sadly a passenger was fatally injured.

But a new pilot hero  who I’m sure would just say ‘we were just doing our jobs has emerged.

She performed her duty, brought the plane in for an Emergency landing and exhibited nerves of steel.    

She should be an inspiration to young girls everywhere.

Yet I wonder if she will receive the same amount the acclaim and honors that Sully did.

Being a women would certainly be in her favor.

But also: She’s a devote Christian!

Tammie has said before that sitting in the captain’s chair as a pilot gave her the opportunity “to witness for Christ on almost every flight.” Her mother-in-law was quoted after the emergency landing saying “I know God was with her, and I know she was talking to God.”

And we all have an understanding of how the Lib media and Liberals in general feels about Christianity.
