Brian Shul will present the "Spy Pilot Chronicles" which has never before been seen in Lake County.
This entertaining and motivating presentation will benefit Operation Tango Mike, a local program sending monthly care packages to deployed troops.
Major Brian Shul spent 20 years as an Air Force fighter pilot. In Vietnam, he flew 212 missions before his aircraft was shot down and he sustained life threatening injuries. Unable to eject, Shul was forced to crash land. Crawling from the burning wreckage, he was ultimately rescued by a Special Forces unit. Shul was given little chance of survival.
Major Shul's story is one of determination and perseverance. He not only survived, but went on to be one of only a few to pilot the SR-71 spy plane. His riveting story includes exclusive photos, taken from the cockpit when he was flying the world's fastest jet. The formerly "top secret" photos are both stunning and amazing. Major Shul also became a TOPGUN instructor.
Brian Shul is the only person ever to have flown with both the Air Force Thunderbirds and the Navy Blue Angels! His photography from those adventures is also impressive. The Thunderbirds were so awed with his work that Brian Shul was named an Honorary Thunderbird, a title bestowed upon
very few.
You will be entertained, inspired and fascinated by Major Shul's story. Brian Shul tells his story as only he can, with humor and candor. His presentation is unique and there is no other like it in America today. You will hear of a man lying near death in the jungles of Southeast Asia, overcoming adversity and flying the world's fastest jet. You will see breathtaking photography and hear about routinely flying at 2,000 miles per hour at 80,000 feet!
Major Shul retired from the Air Force and pursued his careers in writing and photography. He is the author of the award winning book, “Sled Driver: Flying the World's Fastest Jet.” The book was awarded the Aviation Book of the Year by Smithsonian Magazine and is known as the definitive chronicle of the SR-71. Major Shul's SR-71 photos are considered the rarest in the world!
