A Funny Thing Happened To Flight 1549 On The Way To The Museum

Truck Pulling The Airbus Fuselage Couldn't Make A Turn In Moorestown, NJ

It wasn't quite "position and hold" or even "line up and wait." The truck carrying the fuselage of the US Airways Airbus which Capt. Sully landed gently in the Hudson River ... saving all of the passengers and crew ... got stuck on the way to its new home at the Carolina Aviation Museum Sunday afternoon.

CBS Philadelphia reports that the airplane made it as far as Moorestown in Burlington County, NJ when the driver found he could not make a turn. Local crews had to remove some lamp posts and a fence from a home before the big rig with most of an airplane in tow could make it down the town's Main Street.
 
The A320 involved in the flight which has come to be known as the "Miracle on the Hudson" was acquired from an insurance company in February by the Carolinas Aviation Museum in Charlotte, NC, where it will be on display.
