Pilot

Legendary pilots enjoy a very special reputation that lies somewhere between dare-devilry and cool-headedness. Just think of the Wright Brothers, Charles Lindbergh who completed the first solo transatlantic flight, or Chesley Burnett Sullenberger III, who made a successful emergency landing of an Airbus on the Hudson River in New York in November 2009.
While in the early days, it was more about “those magnificent men in their flying machines”, the demands faced by pilots have risen sharply in the last 100 years. And of course the same applies to the instruments used in aircraft.
