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.

CHAPTER ONE

Anne stared at her mailbox. She was almost afraid to peer inside. She hopped from one foot to the other while she chewed on the corner of her braid. She turned to Diana and said, What if it hasn’t arrived yet? I don’t think I could wait another whole week.

Only one way to find out, replied Diana.

Anne took a deep breath. She reached toward the mailbox, opened it, and peered inside. Oh my goodness! It is here! Anne gasped with relief. Anne reached in and pulled out a brown paper package. She ripped off the cover. The deluxe, double-sized...

Diane grabbed it. Early spring edition of. . . she continued.

But Anne grabbed it back The Beaton’s Department Store Catalogue! she finished triumphantly. She opened the catalogue and flipped through the glossy pages. Diana peered, anxiously, over her shoulder.

Anne stopped at a page. Isn’t that the most beautiful puff-sleeved dress you’ve ever seen?

Diane’s eyes opened wide as she nodded in agreement.

Anne turned to another page that showed some shoes with narrow pointy toes.

Diane frowned. Those pointy shoes don’t look very comfortable.
