Capt. Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger goes through his pre-flight routine before piloting a flight to North Carolina from LaGuardia Airport in New York October 1, 2009. Sullenberger was the pilot who brought a crippled US Airways jet to a textbook emergency landing on New York City's Hudson River, after the Airbus A320 was struck by birds, blowing out the engines of the plane, moments after take-off from New York's LaGuardia airport in January.

In 2019, Sullenberger testified before the US Congress in support of requiring pilots to get new simulator training before Boeing 737 MAX flights could resume following two fatal crashes.
