CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger was five years old when he dreamed of flight and being a pilot.
He saw the future not while he was asleep but when he was quite awake, the “Miracle on the Hudson” flight captain clarified to the 200 people who gathered to honor him at Renaissance West STEAM Academy in Charlotte on Thursday.
“Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would have an aviation museum named after me,” he said before quipping: “Not when I was alive.”
