Flight 1549

Visited a small aviation museum when in Charlotte North Carolina a couple of weeks back

This was the main attraction, was quite weird seeing it up close reading all about the salvage operation

I was expecting a big Airfix kit in that box!

Is the APU in a detachable pod too, similar to the main engine mount pins?

It was apparently removed to enable the aircraft to sit on a low loader for transportation
