Sully Flying From Laguardia Tomorrow

2009_04_sully.jpg Get ready for the Sully media blitz! The US Airways pilot who landed Flight 1549 into the Hudson River safely will be in New York tomorrow: TMZ reports that Chesley Sullenberger's first flight back in the cockpit "will take off from LaGuardia Airport tomorrow and take the same route that would have landed him in Charlotte, North Carolina ... were if it not for those pesky geese." And his co-pilot will be the same as that January 15th flight—Jeffrey Skiles. And we say media blitz because Sully's book comes out on October 13.

Pate de foie gras will be served on board.

Ugh. LaGuardia. Only the birds take off on time there.

Not to be a dick, but does that emergency landing really warrant an autobiography? Outside of those fateful few minutes, is his life all that fascinating, or do they just need another reason to fill 300+ pages? This book will probably be packing the bargain bins after the New Year. Sully may have saved lives, but he's going to be killing our trees!

The canonization of St. Sully proceeds apace. Boy, I hope he doesn't make any significant mistakes while in the public eye. They would never forgive him for being human.
