Here is something you don’t encounter on your everyday dog walk. The fuselage of a jet parked in your neighborhood.

This is the Miracle on the Hudson. The U.S. Airways Airbus A320 got nicknamed “The Miracle on the Hudson” as pilot Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger splash-landed in New York’s Hudson River after losing power in both engines when geese flew into them just after take-off at LaGuardia Airport in January 2009. All 155 passengers and crew survived, making the pilot a hero.

We were the first stop it made as it heads to its permanent museum home in North Carolina.

This water bird sculpture looks like he got himself a meal.

The fishies in this pond are always hungry.
