USAirways Pilot "Sully" Sullenberger back in the air October 1st

US Airways announced Wednesday morning that Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger will reunite with his first officer, Jeffrey Skiles, for his first post-accident flight Thursday.

Interestingly, the two will pilot an US Airways flight from New York LaGuardia to Charlotte, N.C., the same route they were flying before some geese intercepted them over New York City on Jan. 15 and had them land about 540 miles short on their 543-mile trip.
They'll be operating Flight 1427, scheduled to leave LaGuardia on Thursday at 12:59 p.m. and arrive in Charlotte at 2:54 p.m.

But before they leave LaGuardia and after they arrive in Charlotte, Sully and Skiles will talk to the news media. There's a lot of interest in the two guys who guided a crippled US Airways flight down into the Hudson River with no deaths and only a few serious injuries on Jan. 15, so be sure and watch the evening news Thursday.
