A gripping account of how a major air disaster was averted, by the captain and former Top Gun pilot Instinctively, I release my pressure on the sidestick. Out of my subconscious, a survival technique from a previous life emerges: Neutralise! I'm not in control so I must neutralise controls. I never imagined I'd use this part of my military experience in a commercial airliner ... On routine flight QF72 from Singapore to Perth on 7 October 2008, the primary flight computers went rogue, causing the plane to pitch down, nose first, towards the Indian Ocean - twice. The Airbus A330 carrying 315 passengers and crew was out of control, with violent negative G forces propelling anyone and anything untethered through the cabin roof. It took the skill and discipline of veteran US Navy Top Gun Kevin Sullivan, captain of the ill-fated flight, to wrestle the plane back under control and perform a high-stakes emergency landing at a RAAF base on the WA coast 1200 kilometres north of Perth. In No Man's Land, the captain of the flight tells the full story for the first time. It's a gripping, blow-by-blow account of how, along with his co-pilots, Sullivan relied on his elite military training to land the gravely malfunctioning plane and narrowly avert what could have been a horrific air disaster. As automation becomes the way of the future, and in the aftermath of Ethiopian Airlines flight 302 and Lion Air flight JT610, the story of QF72 raises important questions about how much control we relinquish to computers and whether more checks and balances are needed. A gripping read in the tradition of Sully: Miracle on the Hudson by Chesley B. Sullenberger.Author Biography
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.

Easy use, easy grasp salt and pepper grinders
Material Type: Updated-Stainless Steel
Wish I got these earlier as well! Easy to use, easy to fill, easy to charge. Seems quite durable and quality is high, not cheap or pkasticky. Easy to grab unit and press button to dispense. The battery charge life seems long lasting esp since we use these every day for meals.
Highly recommend!

Stylish and very nice
Material Type: Updated-Stainless Steel
I opened it up and charged it and it works well only thing I did not like is the knob for the grinding method doesn’t stop so you really don’t know what it’s on until you grind. Other than that it would get 5 stars if it was made a little better on the grinding selection

Absolutely love these!
Material Type: Updated-Stainless Steel, Material Type: Updated-Stainless Steel
I didn’t expect to like them THIS much, but these electric salt and pepper grinders are amazing. They look super sleek on the counter, and the charging base is really convenient — no more buying batteries! The grind size is easy to adjust, and both salt and pepper come out evenly without getting stuck.
The LED light is a small thing, but honestly so useful when cooking in the evening. I’ve been using them every day and the battery still holds great.
If you’re thinking about getting a set, this one is definitely worth it. Makes cooking and serving so much easier and feels way more premium than I expected.

Revising my first review
Material Type: Updated-Stainless Steel
All the items were in the box. The grinders are easy to use. The quality of the product is excellent. I had another one from another company a while ago but this one here I would buy again. The light is brighter than most. The grinders works very well. I am resubmitting this review from my previous one. I give this one 5 STARS PLUS
