The reimagined Sullenberger Aviation Museum reopened June 1, 2024, on the campus of Charlotte Douglas International Airport. The new 35,000 square foot Main Gallery houses the Airbus 320 "Miracle on the Hudson" aircraft that was landed by Captain C.B. "Sully" Sullenberger on New York's Hudson River on January 15, 2009. The gallery features two thematic areas "Aviation Society" and "Innovation Nation" focused on the people of aviation and the technological and safety advancements that the more than 45 planes in the collection introduced to the aviation industry. A third thematic area "Aviation City" will focus on the coming of age of the Charlotte region and its primary economic driver - aviation. Hands on, interactive exhibits and educational programming round out this exciting, experience for all ages in Charlotte.
