didn't last long after hitting birds.

freezing Hudson River.
Today, Sullenberger and first officer Jeff Skiles make their
first flight since then on the same US Airways route they were
flying January 15th -- LaGuardia to Charlotte.
Skiles has been flying since April. Sullenberger has been
writing an autobiography and retraining.
