HARRISON, N.J. - trays of food that has never been used have been removed, with some of the cushions and the mould of dried mud river. Otherwise, the damaged Airbus A320 jet is largely frozen in time of the day it landing safely on the Hudson River in 2009 and gave a country succumbing to economic disaster something to cheer about.
The US Airways jet has spent the past two years in a hangar just outside Newark j. Supor and son, a company that specializes in mobile projects and large-scale rescue. Friday, crews continued preparations for final voyage of the aircraft, of an aviation museum in Charlotte, N.C., where it will be exposed at all times.
The wings of the aircraft, which are loose, be displaced first, followed by the fuselage in the next two weeks, President of Museum of the Carolinas Aviation Shawn Dorsch told Associated Press. He said that it will take about five days to drive the fuselage of 120 feet from New Jersey North Carolina on a large flatbed truck.
The Museum, in the city where the US Airways 1549 flight was held on January 15, 2009, an agreement more early this year to acquire the aircraft.
"We are really on the Moon in this regard," Dorsch said Friday while he watched workers climbing in and out the rear of the cabin of the aircraft via a ladder. "We are not the Smithsonian, in order to get something like that is like the space shuttle.
Flight 1549 had simply taken off from New York LaGuardia Airport when a flock of birds hit the two engines, their closure. The pilot, Captain Chesley "sully" Sullenberger considered as attempting landing at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey but quickly made nearby account it would be unable to do that much, at a significant moment in the control tower"We are gonna be in the Hudson."
As the passengers and crew along with the wings of the slowly sinking aircraft, lifeboats rushed to the scene. The aircraft was submerged in its Windows when they arrived and managed to save all the 155 people on board.
The exhibition of the Museum is scheduled to open next January and will featured interviews recorded with passengers and crew members. Dorsch said that number of passengers of the flight will be on hand when the aircraft arrived in North Carolina.
Obtaining the aircraft requires a good part of the planning. Toll booths and low overpasses must be avoided, and Dorsch, stated that the aircraft may have avoided the New Jersey Turnpike accordingly. A proposed route will be west of the aircraft from the outskirts of Baltimore, bypassing most of Virginia, and Virginia then reach the North Carolina, he said.
