I always had the impression that it was a smaller jet with rear mounted engines.....

So what plane was this? (As in model)

Airbus A-320

Not only is Sully one hell of a pilot, he's a class act, too. Watch this video;

~S to him.

The plane looked alot smaller on the cover of the Post, times, and daily news :P

Its also interesting because recently i was watching a television show on how hard it is for plane crash survivors to cope with the whole experience. He is going through that as well.

I was parked next to one of these this last Labor Day - those planes are not small.

In fact - I was parked next to one at LaGuardia...we fly out of NYC and in the Hudson area once a year...so taking off and looking out the window to imagine a plane landing safely with all the CRAP around him...pretty amazing job.
