The US Airways jetliner that Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger successfully landed on New York’s Hudson River in January 2009 following a bird strike that disabled the engines came through Garrett County on I-68 Tuesday afternoon. An industrial moving company, J. Supor & Son, assisted the 120-foot fuselage on its final voyage, from Harrison, N.J., to the Carolinas Aviation Museum in Charlotte, N.C. The wings and tail were shipped separately. Numerous motorists were able to catch a glimpse of the “Miracle on the Hudson” plane as it made its way through the Mid-Atlantic region. The entire crew of Flight 1549 was awarded the Master’s Medal of the Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators. The award citation read, “This emergency ditching and evacuation, with the loss of no lives, is a heroic and unique aviation achievement.” Capt. Sully’s landing has been described as the most successful ditching in aviation history. Photo by Brenda Ruggiero.
