Some aviation history for the day:
Today marks the 15th anniversary since US Airways 1549, an Airbus A320 jet (registered as N106US) suffered a bird strike causing both engines to fail. The heroic pilot Captain “Sully” Sullenberger made the historic sacrifice to safely land the aircraft in the Hudson River where all passengers and crew survived. It’s been given the title “Miracle on the Hudson”.
At some point, I would like to visit the new Sullenberger Museum in Charlotte to see the actual aircraft that was involved in the incident and some of the history behind it.
