Recently, due to continuous business trips, there is no update to the public account, and all readers forgive me.
Yesterday I watched the 2016 American biographical drama film "Captain Sully," starring big star Tom Hanks, on hotel television, based on former US Airways pilot Chesley " Sally's adaptation of S.
The story tells that in January 2009, Sullenberg (Hanks) piloted the Two Engines Airbus 1549 Airbus A320-214 flight that had been stopped, landing on the Hudson River, and a total of 155 passengers and crew members were spared. Afterwards, Surenberg faced the ensuing media pressure and a barrage of investigations.

Coincidentally, the film's director, Hollywood's veteran tough guy actor Clint Eastwood, had a similar experience, even more tortuous than Captain Sully.
Eastwood was on set with lead actor Tom Hanks

After the outbreak of the Korean War in 1951, Eastwood, then 21, was drafted into the U.S. Army and worked as a lifeguard at Fort Ord Army Base near Monterey Bay in Northern California until the following spring.
On September 30, 1951, Eastwood, a first-class soldier who had taken a military plane to Seattle on a weekend break to meet his girlfriend, was preparing to return to camp after a leave of absence, so he went to NAS Sand Point, on the outskirts of Seattle, to look for a return flight by boarding.
With no flights, he boarded the radio operator's seat in the rear of the Douglas AD-1Q Skyraider, a pilot, belonging to the 35th Night Hacklers Mixed Squadron of the U.S. Navy
Lieutenant Francis Coleman Anderson sailed to NAS Alameda in the San Francisco Bay Area. The picture below shows the same type of aircraft to which the VC-35 belongs, with the vertical tail identifier NR.
Eastwood's AD-1Q serial number 09283 was assigned to the 64th Attack Squadron (VA-64) in September 1948, with tactical designation C-417.

The aircraft was lost by a storm during the flight, causing it to run out of fuel and force a landing off the sea near the Point Reyes Peninsula in Northern California. Fortunately, Lieutenant Anderson and Eastwood First Class escaped successfully and escaped by crossing 3.2 kilometers on a life raft.
It wasn't until Eastwood made the film in 2016 that it was revived because of the similarity of the plot.
Captain Anderson then piloted the AD-4N three-seat night combat attack aircraft under serial number 125712 on 5 October 1952, which was ejected and dropped into the sea by the USS Kearsarge CV-33, the 16th ship of the Essex-class aircraft carrier, and the crew was rescued by helicopter.

But Anderson did not escape the clutches of death, and on January 28, 1953, he and radio operator John R. Schmid disappeared during a night attack mission to the AD-4N, which was operating the serial number 124748, on January 28, 1953.
