Kevin Sullivan

Captain Kevin 'Sully' Sullivan has made flying his passion and his life for the past 40 years. He graduated in 1977 from the University of Colorado with a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering and earned his FAA Private Pilot Licence there before pursuing a career in the United States Navy. Designated a Naval Aviator in 1978, he was transferred to Naval Air Station Miramar (Fightertown) to fly the F-14 Tomcat in 1980. He was deployed to the Indian Ocean onboard USS America and USS Enterprise while assigned to Fighter Squadron 114 (VF-114 Fighting Aardvarks), and was chosen to attend the Navy Fighter Weapons School (TOP GUN). In 1983 he was selected as the first US Navy Exchange Pilot to the Royal Australian Air Force, in the role of a Fighter Combat Instructor flying the Mirage 3. He joined QANTAS Airways in 1986 and flew the Boeing 747 and 767 before transitioning to the Airbus A330 in 2004. As Captain of Qantas Flight 72 (QF72) between Singapore and Perth, WA, on 7 October 2008, he narrowly averted a horrific air disaster when a fault in the plane's automation caused the plane to suddenly nosedive, not once but twice. He was medically retired in 2016.

Look at it all, said Felicity.

Oh yes. . .don’t you want every last thing? asked Anne.

Anne, come along, called Diana. I thought we were going to practice. She nailed a poster onto the bulletin board that hung on the store wall. The poster had a picture of Anne and Diana dressed like professional magicians on it. They wore top hats and capes, and each girl held a wand above her head. On the bottom, the poster said, Coming Soon!

Oh Diana, what magnificent toys, sighed Anne. She had a dreamy look in her eyes. It’s a veritable feast for any child’s imagination.

We came to put up posters for the magic show to earn some money, said Diana. Don’t spend it all in your head before you’ve even earned a cent.
