DANVILLE
The wife of the California pilot who safely landed a crippled jetliner in the Hudson River says her husband is a “a pilot’s pilot” who “loves the art of the airplane.”
Lorrie Sullenberger also says it’s “a little weird” to hear the country calling him a hero.
Sullenberger and her two daughters spoke outside their Danville home Friday morning, a day after pilot Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger III guided a US Airways jetliner to a safe landing in New York.
She said when her two daughters went to sleep Thursday night, “I could hear them talking, ‘Is this weird or what?'”
