WHAT A TRUE AMERICAN HERO!!!!

Janice from CA

What a great pilot! I can’t imagine what it would be like being on that flight!

I love you Sully!!!

America really needs a hero, and Sully is a perfect one!

YOU DA MAN SULLY!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done guy¡¡

(from Barcelona, Spain)

You are indeed a hero and a “true captain of your ship”. Your fantastic accomplishments, as well as your co-pilot’s, who no doubt must have been assisting you, are incredible. You deserve all the admiration and thanks of not only your passengers, but of the entire country, North-American continent, I’ll add of “the world”. CONGRATULATIONS!

This dude is truly unbelievable! Can’t say enough about what he did!

When Americans are now viewed as fat, greedy, lazy conspicuous consumption idiots, out of nowhere comes this saint reminding us of what makes a great american. We salute you Sully.

Go Sully, you the man!

Thank you from Belarus (former USSR) for such a behavior and showing everyone how to be a MAN and PROFESSIONAL.

Best pilot alive. The Internet’s newest god. America’s latest hero. WINNER

We praud of you too!a big Respect from people in Lithuania :}

We got the message, Sully: God exists.

We are proud of you!!!!!! Thank you! Anita from Germany

Thank you Sully! We are so proud of you! America has a hero at last!

When is the new president giving this Hero his medal ceremony?

A truely amazing act of confidence, bravery and humanity was performed by Pilot Sullenberger. In such times of bad press, bad economy, loss of jobs, wall street disasters, etc, etc. It is so refreshing and uplifting to hear and see such a extrordinary feat. A standing ovation goes to Chesley Sullenberger, as well as the quick and efficent response by the ferrys, coast guard, NYPD, and NYFD…the absolute bravest people! This really does proove just how we as Americans can weather anything, and still come up shining….Thank you just doesn’t seem to be enough!

Captain Sullenberger ROCKS !!! This guy epitomizes a Professional Aviator! He (and his crew) responded to adversity with cool heads and a level of professionalism that qualifies them for true “Hero Status”!!! Well done Captain Sullenberger and Crew !!

Thank God for Sully!!!!!

FANTASTIC!! I hope you are pilot on my next flight!!! and well done the emergency services..a feat indeed!

Respect to Jeff Skiles co -pilot who will have needed to keep a cool head while assisting in the landing.

Captain Sullenberger, We will name the new runway ” Sully Strip”, Thank you for being so cool….I mean really COOL!!!!

Captain Sulley and all the workers from the River Husdon; Congratulations on the job well done!

It brought tears to my eyes to read how lucky the passengers were to have a true hero at the controls. You have done more for humanity in a few minutes than most of us will ever do.

Captain Sullenberger, coming from a field where many people depend on you for your expertise everyday to keep them safe and alive… I commend you and your co-pilot on your expertise (lightening critical thought processes) and bravery as well as all of the emergency division who helped to facilitate the passengers safety. You are a humble man and deserve to pat yourself (many times on the back). Bless you and your family…. your co-pilot and his family and the emergency divisions. God Bless!

What can i say, perfect emergency landing! When i saw the reports on CNN in Australia yesterday morning, I was in shock at first, then to see everyone had survived.. Well done Captain Sullenburger, and not forgetting the Co Pilot and Crew for getting everyone out..

I flipped on the tube & couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw that huge plane in the river! Thank you for your professional focus and execution of skill and control, what you did was simply “AMAZING”. I hope your town gives you a hero’s welcome when you get home! Also I hope our new president indeed gives you a much deserved award!

GO Sully!!! Your actions yesterday were simply mind boggling. God bless you and your family and God bless the United States of America.

You actions exemplify true professionalism and pure skill. You are a marvelous example to your fellow Americans and EVERY Professional pilot should have to enlist in a couse taught by you before they can have their lives in our hands. Of course there are many great aviation professionals, but you, sir, are the cream of the crop. Thank you for serving our country in the Air Force and saving countless lives there as well. I can’t even express how proud you have made America feel of the greatness that we know exists in some of our citizens. You are a true example of greatness and what you did yesterday will never be forgotten. God Bless You and Your Family.

I meant “our lives in their hands” sorry for the typo

UH! I just want to hug this man! I hope he accepts the key to our great city! You always got a friend in NY Sully! I cant say enough!

Bravo….and well done.

well don ol’ chap!! “Sully” has become the hero of our household. we have already stuck a picture of the great man up on our front door in tribute to this great man’s heroism and skill. He is THE modern day biggles, or even the ‘ace rimmer’ of the skies.
And with a wonderful name like Chesley, it’s hard to imagine he would be anything but a born saviour and legend!!
The world must rejoice in the man that is Chesley Sullenberger III! “smoke me a kipper skipper, i’ll be back for breakfast!!”…

he should receive every medal we have. and he souldn’t have to pay for anything from now on. what a hero. hooray for sully.

Jim Lovell’s mom might have said: If they could make a washing machine
fly, Sully could land it! Truly, the right stuff!

God Bless this real american Hero !

The miracle of the Hudson River should teach us, that if we stick together and want the same, we can succeed. God bless the Captain, the Crew, the passengers and all the people who were willing to help and rescue lives.

a miracle!!!!!!!!!
God bless the wonderfull hero!s
it’s fantastic

a miracle!!!!!!!!!

You are for us the God !!!

With kind regards

Iza and Maciek

Well done, captain, you deserve a place in aviation history. Best wishes from Barcelona, Spain.

Sully demonstrou, com seu ato heróico, ser um profissional perfeito e ser humano espetacular. Sua habilidade, profissionalismo e dedicação foram elementos decisivos entre a vida e a morte, entre uma tragédia e um fato heróico. Agradecemos a Deus por ter colocado a pessoa certa na hora certa. O BRASIL parabeniza Sully e sua tripulação!!!

Perhaps, to paraphrase the words Mordecai spoke to Esther in the Old Testament, you became a pilot for such a time as this. It is quite fitting and proper that you receive the praises not only of your fellow Americans, but people around the world, for the grace under pressure you showed, not to mention your selfless act of courage in refusing to leave your aircraft until all the passengers were out safely.

For every Bernard Madoff, there is a Chesley Sullenberger.

Great job on landing that plane Mr.Sullenberger. I wish all the pilots had your skills.
Best wishes for the future, kisses and hugs from Poland

Quel exploit ! Great ! Such good news should we have every day !

Best Wishes from the Fernandes Family from Mumbai, India

Mr Chesley Sullenberger, there are not enough words to express my admiration and gratitude to you ! ! !
May life brings you and your family that great joy and happiness that you have given to the passengers of flight 1549 and there families.
Maria from Athens -Greece

That whole crew on Us Air redefines,”GETTING THE JOB DONE”. You are what makes the country great. It is just what we, as a country, needed. We are all so proud of this crew.

I am a Canadian who would be proud of being a passenger on the airplanes he flies. You are a definitely a hero in my mind.

Good Luck to you and your family.

You’re the pilot we could all be so fortunate to have navigating our flights. Thank-you for your quick-thinking, heroism. I hope you are rewarded for your selfless determination displayed when continuing to search the sinking craft just in case there were any injured survivors.

I always thank our captain after a flight and even though I wasn’t there, THANK-YOU.

You are a true hero - thank God you were the pilot…

Well done that man!!!!
an absolute HERO
just a simple thought to add to the praise already heaped on him, think of all the children whose parents made it home safely thanks to the amazing actions of the crew, the rescuers, and everybody else invovled.
So many people owe you a debt of gratitude, many, many more than the 155 passengers whose lives were saved.your faiemus be SOOOOOO proud of you all, bless you all for you actions.
Tony. England

This man is the Hero of all Heroes, perfect job, the best pilot to train others. The miracle is, that HE was in control that moment. Hope, his experiences will be shared to other pilots AND aircraft manufacturers, because, yes, it could swimm, for while, if landed perfectly like Captain Sully did it.

God Bless you Captain Sully

Albert from Austria

God surely put the right man to do the job….. Here is one of God’s mircales…. This is the reason why I dont give up on people, cause they surprise me everday by doing great deeds such as this one…. Way to go Sully…. May God Bless You and Your family… May God Bless your crew and passengers……

Congratulations on a job well done!!!!! You are my hero and probably the rest of the world’s hero!!!!! I’ll fly on your plane any day!!!!!
Bless you, your crew, and your family!!!!!!!

Thanks to captain Sullenberger, now we know that you can safely land Airbus A320 on the water. He made the right decision and everybody is alive now. And let’s not forget the first officer, he is a hero too.

You did more than save the lives of the people on the plane. You raised the standard for pilots everywhere and now an inspiration to all pilots.

You are a true hero man! And thanks to the webmaster for making such a cool tribute site.

Os meus Parabens pela coragem e profissionalismo.

Congratulations on a job well done. God bless you.

Dear Mr. Sullenberger,

We know God was with you at the time you landed that air craft. With God all things are possible. We truly believe that God had His hands on you as you landed that air craft safely in the Hudson River. With God on your side you saved those people on that aircraft. We praise God for people like you, everyday.

Blessings, Pastor & Mrs. Randy Baber

Thanks to pilots like you, there hasn’t been a fatal commercial plane crash in the U.S. for two years. If you aren’t too shaken up, I’d love to ride on your plane!

Mr Sullenberger
As someone who has never flown, I can’t imagine what went through passenger’s minds that fateful day. But there is a saying “God is my copilot”. You obviously had an excellent copilot that day, physically and spiritually. The crew also did a fantastic job. When I heard how you went up and down the aisles looking to be sure no one was left behind, I cried. What a wonderful man you must be. God bless you and all the crew.

Thank you Captain Sullenberger.
We understand why your wife and daughters are so proud of “Dad”. Iknow I witnessed a miracle watching CNN.
Kudos to your co-pilot and crew.

Parabéns Comandante Chesley Sullenberger, Você foi perfeito em todos os pontos a serem considerados nesta ação memorável.
Tenho certeza que as horas de planador, foram decisivas para o acerto das suas decisões e também para o sucesso da operação. A forma perfeita com que o Sr trouxe o A320 até tocar na água, demonstra uma sensibilidade que não se encontra mais nos pilotos de hoje.
Alem de extremamente competente, o Sr foi magnífico.
Que Deus o abençoe.

Thank you from French West Indies(Martinique). God bless you our Captain.

An impeccable maneuver. God bless you, Captain Sully, and god bless to the crew.

Yeah, he did it right… Is that why you fly the way you do? Trying to prove something? Yeah your old man did it right. What I’m about to tell you is classified. It could end my career. We were in the worst dogfight I ever dreamed of. There were bogeys like fireflies all over the sky. His F-4 was hit, and he was wounded, but he could’ve made it back. He stayed in it, saved three planes before he bought it.

god bless you you are more then a hero

Captain Sully,
After so many years of pilot,working so hard for the saftey’s plain, you prouve last week,to all the planet that safety is major.Self- control,experience,and hope in life,you where the PILOT,saving so many life!!!You are my HERO!!! kudo Captain!!!

Captain “Sully”

You kick ass my friend!!! You are part of the fabric that makes Americans great!! A real WINNER!! Way to go!!

Sir, Words cannot describe what an outstanding job you did saving 155 lives. I hope the next time I board a plane, I just hope the pilot and co-pilot have just half of the skills yourself and your first officer did. Sir, my hat is off to you, You are a true hero to us all.

Thank you for saved lives. In Spain You are a HERO now.
God bless you an your family, Captain Sullenberger

I hope US Airways invites you + crew and all the passengers to a retreat allowing all the passengers the opportunity to thank you (and the crew) personally for the incredible job you did. You deserve that & they deserve the opportunity to express their appreciation to you directly. Best wishes and congratulations for your grace under fire.

CONGRATULATIONS!YOU A NUMBER ONE!BRAZIL LOVES YOU!

Wow…hell of a pilot. My brother is a pilot for a major airline and I know he would have done the same thing (he is awesome).For many pilots, it is “just a job”. For others they are like Sully and my bro.He did everything right. Psychologically, emotionally, professionally and skillfully. All the planets were inline. Thank you Sully for giving our country and the families a great event. You are the best.

Congrats to you and your FO…..Teamwork and professionalism saved the day. I know everyone is praising you because you actually made the landing of a lifetime, but I also know your FO was extremely instrumental in your execution of the very dicey water landing. Let’s all not forget him……..thank you.

Captain, you and your staff are my heroes!

I’m not the sort of person who throws the word ‘hero’ around lightly, but if it was ever true of anyone, it is true of Mr. Sullenberger. I admire his skill and grace under pressure, and would love to shake his hand.

Perfect landing sir Sullenberger ! Congratulations !
Chris from Belgium

Here’s to Captain Sully and his co-pilot, God!

Ouch, I forgot to thank the co-pilot and the rest of the crew of Flight 1549 for a wonderful job helping Mr. Sullenberger to control the plane and making a safe and fast evacuation.

The Captain may be a hero but his publicists are idiots. By pulling out of the Today Show interview with Matt Lauer in favor of the 60 Minutes interview with Katie Couric, it gives the impression that Sullenberger’s word is not worth anything. I, for one, will not watch the interview and have lost interest in the story. $$$$$$$$$$$ rule!

I also congratulate the Captain and his crew, and also the passengers for apparently remaining calm when the plane came to rest in the river.

I bet It takes cahooonas as big as a baseball to land a plane with no engines, thats a hell of a glider.

Dave

Captain Sullenberger, you are a truly hero. So professional acting and a incredidel landing on the water. I´m so amazed that you followed the rule: “Captain leaves the sinking ship last”. That is what I call courage!

Well done Captain Sullenberger and Crew !!

Leif from Sweden

I’m sorry to hear that you changed your mind, or should I say broke your promise, to appear on the Today Show and speak with 60 minutes because a publicist said it would be better for your image. I think keeping your word is better for your image and that publicist should be fired. You and the crew did a heroic thing but this puts a bad taste in my mouth.

I know you’ve said you and the crew were “just doing your jobs” but, WOW, what a job! So much had to go “right” for you to ditch that aircraft and have everyone walk away. I know they test and simulate the planes and that you have “instructions” on how to ditch, but nobody can know how it will actually perform in any given situation. From my standpoint, it was truly a miracle. Thanks to all and bless everyone including the brave New Yorkers who were, once again, called upon to act quickly in extraodinary cirucumstances. It is another moment in history that we can all be proud of where people in dire circumstances worked together unselfishly to save everyone. THANK YOU!

You ARE a HERO!!!
Mr & Mrs Charles

You did a great thing, and all the AIR FRANCE pilots congratulate you !
We are proud of what you have done !

You look so young!

With so many tragedies going on in the world, this event sure was inspirational. All of the crew and attendants should be recognized.If God is my co-pilot, Captain Sullenberger can be my pilot anytime. I am so fearful of flying,but if he were in that cockpit, I wouldn’t need a xanax.
This man really does deserve praise. He obviously has worked very hard to prepare himself for a day like that.

Best Wishes Captain Sullenberger!

You get my most respect, Sully.
It´s wonderful to see, that a man can perfectly do his job-and much more.
So, greetings from Germany, you are great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Warm regards, René

I’ve been a middle school teacher for 20 years. The sorry lack of role models our young people can look up to is disappointing. Then comes Captain Sullenberger!! What a refreshing change! A true American hero, doing the extraordinary within the context of his everyday job. We thank God for the skills He gave you. Thanks Captain!

Wow was all I could say as I watched the t.v. in disbelief. Not only were you calm, cool and collected in getting the plane down, but to know that you were still so concerned and duty bound to check that all the passengers were off before you…Wow! You are more than just a hero, you are what ever man and woman should aspire to be…a compassionate, selfless human being. Our country would not be in its current state if people stopped to think about others as you did. BRAVO…I salute you.

Job well done, Captain.

In 1987, I took off from Nantucket Airport on my first solo flight in a C150, but the weather changed at 1,700 AGL (zero visability with fog blowing past me) over the ocean. I panicked and cried for my mother–no “hood” experience. The plane banked 50 degrees, and I couldn’t trust my instrumentation–just the seat of my pants.

If I hadn’t studied for the FAA exam, I wouldn’t have forced myself to concentrate on the avionics, pulled the power and did two 45 degree decending turns. The clouds lifted, and I was on my downwind, looking at the runway to my left.

The point is: that small amount of training saved my life. Your immense amount of training saved a lot of lives.

I never completed my license (despite 50 hours), save a few, solo cross-country trips. I think I might just continue to persue that license after all these years–thanks to you.

Training is everything.

Correx: “two, 90-degree descending turns”…it was a long time ago, but I think I can still do it.

Hope the fame doesn’t change things too much for you.

Best,

Chad in Japan

Comandante Sullenberger, sou Major Pára-quedista do Exército Brasileiro, gotaria de expressar minha eterna gratidão em nome das pessoa que o Sr Salvou. O Senhor é de fato um Heroi.

Words simply cannot express your heroic acts in handling the emergency landing of your flight and passengers. This is a simple statement for a not so simple act of courage and quick thinking in such a short amount of time. You proved your dedication to your profession and the people that depend on you. I want to make sure you are the pilot on my next flight. God Bless

Heroes are the people God picks out who are the best of the best and he walks hand in hand with them to create miracles.

What a great man, a great pilot. You are a shining beacon of light and a testament toward the skills of (hopefully) all American pilots. Congrats. and great job. Soak in the glory!

Dear Sir,

Thank you for reinforcing my faith and pride in our aviation system.

Sincerely,
Dan Ryan
American Airlines Flight Crew

I have had a forced landing on a highway in Australia but with engine power and salute you for your competence. Having carried out your training drills and being able to stick to them at this time and under such pressure was amazing and I really do salute you.
Your passengers and the public have no real idea of the stress you were under. You really are a “SUPERMAN” and pilot.

“Sully”, you are simply the BEST !!!
Great job and congratulation to all your fantastic crew !!!
Lake of Como - Italy

Dear Pilot:
I believe his wife was responsible for the great achievements in its Hudson River. It is that loving without limits, it allowed you to exercise the pilot with all the tranquility of the world. Great pilots are only counted when at home with the unconditional support of women as their major. So congratulate you done for, but I will also pay tribute to his wife. I´m so sorry for my bad English. Sincerely, Roberto Borges, Brazilian

What a true American Hero, each one of those passengers and all the crew had a guardian angel with them that day! God bless and may you receive nothing but the best!

I cry every time I think of how Mr.Sullenberger saved his crew and passengers and people on the ground from what could have been horrible beyond words.
His impeccable character that created the calmness he displayed is an inspiration to everyone.

Sir,
You are an international hero. We know you feel that you were “just doing your job” - but what a first rate job. Here is where you pilots earn your money. It looks easy to fly a plane when everthing is automated - but when all power is lost and all the lights go out, you guys know what to do. Top class.

AJ.

I know that this country is desperate for heroes right now. I heard you say that you are not a hero, but, YOU DID A DAMN FINE JOB OF FLYING. Dad, a WW2 bomber pilot always said a jet had a glide pattern of a rock. My hat is of to you for a job well done.

I get ‘goosebumps’ everytime I hear the story again…I agree with others observations…’the right person, with the right training and experiences, in the right spot at the right time’…whew!!! AMAZING!!!!

I watched the special on “6o Minutes” and was just so impressed with your incredible heroism and your humbleness. It is so apparent what an incredible man you are. The world needs more honorable, kind, amazing, genuine people like you. We are fortunate to have you in our country!
Thank you for giving us “the miracle on the Hudson”!

Dear Captain Sullenberger and Crew of Flight #1549:

It’s not so many years ago that Flight #5050 crashed into Flushing Meadow Bay on takeoff from LaGuardia in frigid, snowy weather. I didn’t take that flight because the flight # bothered me. (I know it was silly but I grew up in a family of gamblers). Although most survived, not everyone was as lucky to have the experienced crew that those on Flight #1549 had on January 15, 2009. Aside from the many tears I’ve shed reading and watching news coverage and commentary about this miraculous event, I believe that Capt. Sullenberger said it best at the end of his 60 Minutes interview: In these difficult times, people are looking for good news to celebrate and stories of everyday people doing their everyday jobs who give us all hope. As a 9-11 survivor who lives in lower Manhattan, I can attest to how much it means to people to be able to come together in times of adversity. Sadly, people tend to forget these things as time marches on. To you, Capt. Sullenberger, your crew, and New York’s great first responders, thank you so much for reminding us.

I, too, am just an ordinary person who would like to show my gratitude. If you, your wife and children, or any of your crew members happen to be returning to Manhattan any time soon, I’d like very much to treat you to tickets for a play opening this month on Broadway: Irena’s Vow. It is the story of an ordinary Polish Catholic woman who, at great risk to herself, saved the lives of 12 Jewish people who would have otherwise been murdered by the Nazi regime. Irena was just another person doing her share to help mankind — like all of you.

I wouldn’t think twice to fly with you. I hope that one day I get the chance to be on your plane. They should name the river after you, “The Sullenberger River” You are a hero to alot of people, especially to the family members of the passangers on that plane.

Captain Sullenberger,
What a thrill it is to read and hear about the miraculous events surrounding the untimely flight 1549. You and your crew reacted in a split second while making an instantaneous decision that saved lives of 155 people who happened to be on your plane that day. You stated that the folks in the back of the plane were probably offering prayers at the time of decision making. One thing I feel for sure….God had the right man in the left cockpit seat at the time. You are our hero, a well deserved honor.

Charles Smith

Captain sullenberger,
On behalf of the little island of jamaica i want to extent all the very best to you and your family and crew member for that wonderful job well done. We admire you and you will always be our hero.God loves you my brother,you deserve your honour but God has that for you in glory.Thank you for your courage and strength.Keep going,be good.
Jeanette Patterson-Smith.

Why arte we treating this guy as a hero? He did his job, it’s as simple as that. There are TV station shows, government and various others spending tons of money to have this guy tell the story of how he did his job period. Lets all save this money and put it toward something that will really do some good. No one is out flying the police officers and firemen that saved lives every day to all these functions and interviews for doing their jobs. This guy is not special, put him back in a plain and let him do his job!!!

You are an ass, and you don’t even know how to spell… thats’s PLANE not plain, moron. Every pilot that has ever crashed a plane had a job to do, but sometimes it is impossible or they don’t have the skill, knowledge or expertise, or it’s mechanical. This the first successful ditch, ever.

are you for real? what if you were on the plane? I hope to God you would be thanking him. who says people don’t thank policemen and firemen? you should be ashamed of yourself for what you wrote.

Capt Sully and Crew,
Way to go! You are awesome and words cannot describe how incredibly you handled the situation. Great news when all else has been so horrible in the news!

This flight of the goose into the Machine of Sullenberger was a schamanistic terrorist attack. I have no doubt in this and true to my my Visions I had in this fact, I also know, who corrupted the Goose in that way. I know the founder and the goose also told me duriTng my schamanistic Work. Everyone who is interested in that can contact me, my Email: reiner.matthiesen@web.de
The Crash of the Airplane was indeed a Terrorattack and it´s really not usual for this animals to fly in that way. Believe me an so the proof in 3 different ways. I´m absolutely sure, that this was a Terrorist Attack by a schamanistic lack magician.
I hope we will bring him to council …..

I have just watched the account of the Crashing in the hudson i am truley in awe of the pilot and the crew and the passengers my heart ws bating so fast i was truley over come with emotion. I fly every year for holidays and every time make myself overcome my fear of flying i truly support you all for your bravery and am thankful that you all survived to be with your families.

Your comment about experience brings to mind The High and the MIGHTY 1954. Where ‘Dan Roman’ ie John Wayne slaps the face of Robert Stack. The second officer figured that ‘Dan’ had 20,000 hours air time. An interesting sidelight I learned that the DC4 used in the movie was actually lost on a charter flight between Honolulu and SF/LGX about 1964 due to an engine failure, PP #2 reportly due to an oileak. No surviors after a 5 day USCG search. If you ever get to see the 2 disc DVD you really find it intteresting My service time was chasing ‘Airdales’ who could not make it back. Mostly F4’s When everything went to shit thinking about the film helped. Gann the book which the film is based on was /is very simalar to Stephen Coonts book on the A6 he flew about time you were in NAM

MY HUSBAND WAS A NAVY PILOT FOR 28 YEARS. HE BELIEVES THAT WHAT “SULLY” ACCOMPLISHED WAS TRULY A MIRACLE. THE RIGHT MAN, IN THE RIGHT, PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME. A SUPERB FEAT OF SKILL AND COURAGE. BRAVO ZULU SULLY!
