Description
Limited Edition of 1990. Ball Watch Company Engineer Hydrocarbon AeroGMT Sled Driver Limited Edition DG2018C-S17C-BK. From attack pilot in the U.S. Air Force to extraordinary aviator of the world’s fastest plane, the story of Brian Shul is awe inspiring. While flying secret ops toward the end of the Vietnam War, Shul was shot down near the Cambodian border. Surviving the initial impact of crash landing in the jungle, Shul was trapped inside a fiery cockpit. Just as his helmet visor began to melt, he managed to free himself and crawl, severely burned, from the flaming wreckage. A Special Operations Pararescue team extracted the downed pilot by helicopter from hostile territory, and evacuated him to a military hospital where he was not expected to survive his burns. One year and 15 surgeries later, Shul astonished the military world by overcoming his traumatic injuries and passing every flight physical demanded of him in order to fly again. After flying fighter jets for 10 years, he applied to pilot the SR-71 Blackbird. With a titanium pin in his finger and nerves of steel, he became part of an elite group of pilots skilled enough to fly the famed spy plane. Brian Shul is proof that with the right attitude, all things are possible.
