Former airline pilot Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger II stands next to a chalkboard he just signed during a visit to the Fisher House at Travis Air Force Base, Calif, Oct. 17, 2017. Sullenberger met with Fisher House representatives and families to learn more about the Fisher House Foundation, started by Zachary and Elizabeth Fisher in 1991 to fulfill the need for temporary lodging facilities for families at major military medical centers. Sullenberger had the opportunity to interact with past and present residents at the facility, and learn how they benefitted from the experience. Sullenberger is a 1973 Air Force Academy graduate and is best known for successfully landing a crippled airliner in the Hudson River in 2009 saving the lives of a 155 passengers.
