Sullenberger Aviation Museum, Aviation museum at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, US
The Sullenberger Aviation Museum is an aviation museum at Charlotte Douglas International Airport. It displays over 50 static aircraft, including military jets from the 1950s and planes from airlines that shaped American aviation history.
The museum began in 1992 and moved to a modern building in 2010, leaving behind its original 1932 hangar location. This shift allowed the collection to grow and serve more visitors.
The name honors Captain Sullenberger and his famous emergency landing. Visitors see how aviation history connects to real human stories and affects how people think about flying.
The museum sits inside the airport terminal area and is easy to reach from parking. Visitors should check ahead as the facility sometimes closes for airport events or special conditions.
The museum houses the actual Airbus A320 that landed on the Hudson River. Seeing this real aircraft shows how modern design and skilled piloting saved everyone aboard.
