Knowing what a humble guy Jonathan Carlson is, he probably wouldn't have posted this himself. However, his recent actions on May 27, 2009 are inspiring and I believe they stand to encourage us all to strive for excellence in our lives and stay cool when the going gets tough.
There are two core EMAL beliefs:
1. The longer we play the better we get.
2. Someone is going to find a way.
When an engine failed on the commercial plane he was commanding Jonathan was up to the challenge. He has always told me if there is a tight situation on an airplane he wants to be the one at the controls. His 1st Officer was flying when the engine failed, but Jonathan took over shortly afterward. He then proceeded to land the plane safely while protecting the lives of the crew members and all 27 passengers on board.
It's inspiring to me that one of our fellow EMALs continues to work hard to become a master of his craft despite adversity. Yes sir, Jonathan Carlson is the real deal.
