The museum honors Captain C.B. “Sully” Sullenberger, who, with his crew, safely landed US Airways Flight 1549 in the Hudson River in New York, with no loss of life. This flight, known as the “Miracle on the Hudson,” had just taken off for Charlotte.

The centerpiece of the museum is the plane that Sullenberger piloted in the “Miracle on the Hudson” landing. The museum also teaches about the history of flight and the people who made it possible.
