Tammie Jo Shults, the pilot hailed as a hero for safely landing a Southwest Airlines plane after one of the jet’s engines failed, is a “strong Christian lady” whose faith contributed to her calm state amid the emergency, according to friends and family.

The 56-year-old Shults, an ex-Navy pilot and one of the first women to fly the “Top Gun” F-18 Hornet, was forced to implement a rapid descent toward Philadelphia International Airport on Tuesday when one of the two engines on her Boeing 737-700 blew and broke apart at 32,000 feet.
