People in Aviation
Sully Sullenberger selected for ICAO post, Hansueli Loosli takes helm at Pilatus, John Foster is chairman/CEO of Skytech, and APG's Mike Caflisch retires.

C.B. “Sully” Sullenberger III—noted for his role in the successful “Miracle on the Hudson” emergency landing—was nominated to serve as the ambassador representing the U.S. on the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). A safety advocate, author, and keynote speaker, Sullenberger is a former U.S. Air Force fighter pilot and retired airline pilot who has amassed more than 20,000 flight hours over a 30-year career. He became known for his skills as a pilot in 2009, while as captain of US Airways Flight 1549 he and his crew successfully ditched their Airbus A320 into the Hudson River after the aircraft struck a large flock of Canadian geese upon takeoff from New York LaGuardia Airport and lost thrust from both engines. All 155 people on board survived and there were only a few injuries.
