Col. Mark Tillman
Former Commander of Air Force One on 9/11 "Zero Fail Mission"
American Motivational Virtual Presentation Political StoryThe Unknown Backstory of 9/11
Former Air Force One Pilot Col. Mark Tillman shares his untold story of flying the President on 9/11, deciphering information in the fog of war, and bringing the Commander-in-Chief to Ground Zero.
About Col. Mark:
Chosen as the nation's 12th Presidential pilot, Colonel (ret) Mark W. Tillman served as pilot and commander of Air Force One from 2001-2009. Col. Tillman was at the controls of Air Force One through numerous national events. Most notably, he protected the President on September 11, 2001 by keeping him out of harms way and connecting the flying oval office to the nation's first responders.
Another historic event was being the first pilot to fly the Commander-in-Chief into a war zone. The challenge was unprecedented--transport the most targeted man in the world into the heart of terrorism. One mistake would have left the President open to attack and cost the lives of US service members. Col. Tillman personally orchestrated and executed the covert operation with flawless success. His planning, done in complete secrecy, allowed for a complete surprise to the entire world.
