Sully Sullenberger Faces Alzheimer’s with Grace | Spokane News

Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, the hero pilot who landed US Airways Flight 1549 on the Hudson River, has been diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimer’s — a condition that’s affecting his memory and sleep since his August 2025 diagnosis. Despite this, Sully remains remarkably grounded, supported by his wife Lorrie and family, who are walking this journey with hope and joy. Known for his calm under pressure and lifelong service — from the Air Force to ambassadorial roles — Sully is now channeling his voice to inspire others, proving that even as his past fades, his focus on the future and his spirit remain unshakable.
