Captain Leads Off at Hearing on Flight That Landed in Hudson - NYTimes.com
Still love this story!
When Capt. Chesley B. Sullenberger III spoke to the 150 passengers of US Airways Flight 1549 on the La Guardia runway on the afternoon of Jan. 15, he remarked what a nice day it was to fly. And soon after they took off, he remarked to his co-pilot, Jeffrey B. Skiles, “What a view of the Hudson today.”
…
Upon landing in the Hudson, Captain Sullenberger said he recalled turning to Mr. Skiles and saying, “That wasn’t as bad as I thought the entry would be.”
