Other than the computer just who flies these things. Watching the landing
on some NASA cable channel they kept refering to pilot Jim Kelly.

The Shuttle has a Mission Commander, in this case Collins and a Pilot,
Kelly. The Apollo moon flights had a mission commander and two pilots one
for the lunar lander and one for the command module (The guy that flies all
the way to the moon and doesn't get to land. What has to be the best worst
job in history.)

Both the mission commander and the pilot are trained to fly and land the
orbiter.
