The Magic Flute Diaries: Official Movie Companion

By Kevin Sullivan

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born into a great musical family; he was a child musical prodigy who became the equivalent of a modern-day pop star as he grew up and played in concerts across Europe. He also became the toast of the aristocracy, in whose employ he thrived as a musical genius. Yet, even until he moved to Vienna in his thirties, Wolfgang searched for the acceptance, respect and the status reserved for those born into the aristocracy. He would find all of these things and more within the halls of the secretive Masonic Order.

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.
