Overview

• After two and a half years of flight training, Fielder earned a Boeing 737 certification and piloted it with 150 actor-passengers in The Rehearsal Season 2 finale.
• During his Kimmel Live! appearance, he said viewers are already calling the stunt the ‘Miracle Over the Mojave’ and argued it surpasses Sully Sullenberger’s Hudson River landing.
• He acknowledged the Miracle on the Hudson as a landmark feat but maintained that landing on solid ground makes his achievement more significant.
• Fielder’s project aimed to demonstrate how miscommunication between captain and first officer contributes to crashes by conducting a real-world test flight.
• He refused to label himself a hero, stating he was merely performing his duties as a pilot despite Kimmel and fans offering the title.
