This hero's the real McCoy

Now I know who the "real McCoy" is. He's Jeff McCoy, thecool-headed air traffic controller at O'Hare International Airportwho successfully guided a powerless jet and its pilot to a crash-freelanding. He's not only the "real McCoy," but a real hero, too.Beautiful! R. F. Stoiber, Joliet A huge thanks

This is regarding the skill and fortitude of Air Force Capt.Vince Amato and air traffic controller Jeff McCoy, who togetherhelped avert what was potentially a major disaster.

There is no award high enough to place on these two individuals,but an enormous, heartfelt thanks. They not only saved taxpayers $30million (cost of the Air Force F-16) but also proved beyond any doubtthat the training these guys received was very much worth it. Godbless them both.
