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

    It was just after dawn and the morning was hazy. Dawson’s Field was silent, except for the faint chirping of sparrows, and some light footsteps crunching in the grass.

    Gilbert crept through Dawson’s field. He hopped over a stone wall, looked around, and then pulled something out from the bib of his overalls. It was a sparkling crown! He chewed on his bottom lip, and glanced over his shoulder.

    He walked toward a large oak tree, and hid the crown in its crook, looking around, again. Then he ran back home.

    Later that day, on the schoolyard, Gilbert stood in the middle of a group of his classmates. Anne, Diana, Felicity, and Felix were all there.

    The rules are simple, Gilbert told them. First, we meet at ten o’clock tomorrow, at Dawson’s Field. Second, I’ll give the signal, and ‘The Hunt for the Golden Crown’ will begin. Gilbert looked at his friends. They all listened, attentively. He smiled. Third, whoever finds it will be crowned this year’s King or Queen.

    You hid the golden crown in the woods, didn’t you? asked Felix. Gilbert grinned, and shook his head. I’ll never tell, he said.
