Weatherday: Sully and Skiles, skill in the skies

Fruit offering in my hotel, Vienna (2006).

Mostly cloudy, some sunny spells in the afternoon.

Temperature high of 7deg in light southerly breezes.

On this day in 2009, bird-struck US Airways flight 1549 was landed safely on the Hudson River in New York City by Captain Sullenberger and Co-pilot Skiles.
