They toughened up the levee a little and flew it out of there. I saw a show about this. The pilot was a man of steel. Sully tough!

Any idea what the show was called? Did they let the same pilot that landed it fly it out?

The show is called Air Disasters and is on the Smithsonian Channel. I don't know the episode title.

This was at the Michoud Assembly Facility. Happened a year after I transferred to KSC in Florida. Apparently they did a short load of fuel to keep the weight down to be as light as they could then flew it from Michoud to Lake Front Airport a few miles away. One of the roads is fairly long and was used to transport the External Tank to a barge dock for shipment to KSC to be used on the Space Shuttle. Not the first plane to land there but certainly the first passenger plane to.
