Sully grew up in Texas, his father served in the United States Navy, his IQ at age 12 was deemed high enough to join Mensa International, he also gained a pilot's license at 14, attended the United States Air Force Academy, was selected as one of around a dozen other freshmen for a cadet glider program, and by the end of that year, he was an instructor pilot. In addition to his Bachelor of Science degree from the United States Air Force Academy, Sullenberger also holds a Master's degree in industrial psychology from Purdue University and a Master's degree in public administration from the University of Northern Colorado. He served as a fighter pilot for the United States Air Force, piloting McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom IIs from 1975 to 1980. He advanced to become a flight leader and a training officer, and attained the rank of captain, with experience in Europe, the Pacific, and at Nellis Air Force Base, as well as operating as Blue Force Mission Commander in Red Flag Exercises. While in the Air Force, he was a member of the official aircraft accident investigation board. He was in the military for 11 years. What are Red Flag Exercises? RED FLAG is an advanced aerial combat training exercise hosted at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada and Eielson Air Force Base Alaska. Since 1975, air crew from the United States Air Force (USAF) and other U.S. military branches and allies take part in the exercises, each of which is six weeks in duration. Red Flag is similar to the U.S. Navy's Top Gun aerial combat training school. The Red Flag exercises, conducted in four-to-six cycles a year by the 414th Combat Training Squadron of the 57th Wing, are very realistic aerial war games. The purpose is to train pilots from the U.S., NATO and other allied countries for real combat situations. This includes the use of "enemy" hardware and live ammunition for bombing exercises within the Nevada Test and Training Range.
