Timelapse video of recovery of Sully's bird

Sully is indeed flying and did a flight with the same first officer about a month or 2 ago.

Nice little Video!

Does any one know whats happend to the Aircraft? Has it been Dismantled?

I heard some where that Sully was back flying for US now is this true?

No wonder all the pax hung around on the wings whilst waiting for rescue! That water looks dang cold:dev2:

Or “When animals attack” perhaps 😉

Or “When Sully met Gully !” :rolleyes:

It will be on “Mega movers” or recovery squad at some point

I’d love to know how they got the freight doors open underwater. To un lock then is no problem, the latch and locks are manual but they are hydraulicly opened.
The rear one is in the position I’d expect if the door had been un latched and un locked but the forward one has been fully opened and locked open. I can only assume that a team of frog men found the manual pump amd pumped it open. It’s hard enough when you do it on the ramp but underwater???

Good little film that, I hadn’t realised the plane actually sunk under the water at the quayside a couple of times and I’m amazed all that ice cascading downstream didn’t do more damage…:eek:

Wow, someone at Air France needs to go and have a chat with US Airways about what paint they use and what they coat it with….even after a bath in the Hudson river (of all manky waters!), the A320 is more pristine than most of the AF fleet!
