Heroics while flying?

[John Baker]

People who have done truly heroic things, rarely believe they were heroes.

My question for today is: Have you, or someone you know, ever done anything others considered to be heroic while flying?

I don't have any examples to warm you into this subject, but I thought it might make for some interesting reading.....if it gets going.

Obviously not myself, but my first flight in a Lear 35 and a number of subsequent ones were with this gentleman. He taught me a lot.

Nope -- it's all been very selfish (I like not crashing).

People who fly Angel Flight are heros to the families whose lives are improved by their contribution of time, talent, and treasure. I bet there's a few of those around here...

Does mouth-to-mouth count? Even if I just told her it was required above 5,000' to maintain her oxygen level?

Doctor Bruce was on the board of Lifeline Pilots in addition to flying for them.
