Best Answer

The pilot was Chesley B. Sullenburger of Danville, CA, who was 58 at the time.

The copilot/ first officer was Jay Skiles, also of Danville, 64.

On January 15, 2009, Sullenberger successfully landed Flight 1549 on the Hudson River, with no loss of life, after the plane lost both engines after striking a flock of birds as it took off from LaGuardia Airport in New York City.
