General Session | Moments in History
Colonel Mark Tillman
Retired Pilot & Commander of Air Force One
Wednesday, September 18
3:30 p.m.
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 harm’s 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. Col. Tillman’s distinguished career spans
30 years in the United States Air Force. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross
in 2004 and promoted to Brigadier General by the President of the United States—the
first military line officer to receive this honor. A man devoted to serving his country,
this captivating storyteller will give you a first-hand account of remarkable moments in
history. Special Events
