James has worked for Southwest Airlines as a
flight ops safety intern; Williams International (aviation engines); Encompass
Aviation “Surf Air” and then Boutique Airlines (subscription charters out of
HHR and then SJC, as lead mechanic, maintenance training manger and as First
Officer / SIC pilot in the Pilatus PC-12, Part 135); Compass Airlines (AA
regional carrier out of LAX, in the ERJ-170 as FO, Part 121), and ATI (Amazon
freight, as FO and then Captain / PIC, in the B-757/767). James joined Delta in
August 2023, flying the B-757/767 out of Atlanta and then NYC, and was back in
the right seat building his seniority again. James also owned SullivAir, LLC
(sullivair.com), providing contract maintenance and management services for
Part 91 to privately owned Pilatus PC-12 operators in Los Angeles. From 2013 to
2017, James was a bit of an aviation video-blogger
(youtube.com/@JamesSullivans). So this second chapter was all about aviation.
James closed this chapter having logged well over 4000 hours up front since age
10, including 325 hours in the B-757/767 with Delta and 955 hours as PIC with
ATI.

NEKIMI, Wis. -- A
Philadelphia man and a man from New York have been preliminarily identified as
the victims of a fatal plane crash near the site of an airshow in eastern
Wisconsin.
The bodies of Sean Tommervik, 37, of Philadelphia, and
James G. Sullivan, 32, of Brooklyn, were found Monday in the wreckage in a farm
field, the Winnebago County sheriff's office said Wednesday in a release.
"Official medical examiner confirmation will take
additional time," the sheriff's office said. "However, after the
initial investigation, there is no reason to believe the occupants were anyone
other than Mr. Tommervik and Mr. Sullivan."
They were the only people aboard the Lancair Super ES which
was owned by Tommervik. First responders found the plane fully engulfed in
flames in the field in the town of Nekimi. The National Transportation Safety
Board is investigating.
The plane crashed about 2 miles south of the site of the
EAA AirVenture air show at Oshkosh's Wittman Regional Airport. Monday was the
first day of the 71st AirVenture, a weeklong event scheduled to include
military aircraft demonstrations and forums with combat pilots, aircraft
designers and NASA astronauts, the Oshkosh Northwestern reported.
WINNEBAGO
COUNTY (WLUK) -- Sheriff's officials have released the names of the two people
flying on a plane that crashed Monday near the EAA AirVenture convention.
The Winnebago County
Sheriff's Office says it believes Sean M. Tommervik, 37, who recently moved to
Philadelphia from El Paso, Texas; and James G. Sullivan, 32, who recently moved
from Nashville, Tennessee, to Brooklyn, New York, were on board………………….
