Captain C.B. Sully Sullenberger to Retire From US Airways - Last Flight Audio

[Delta Echo]

Here is the recording from KFLL of Capt Sully departing.  He did not want anybody to get all excited about this and in fact there was not much publicity about it except this article.

Congrats on the retirement Sully! 

I will look for the arrival into KCLT this evening if no one beats me to it!

And here it is:

"Blaze 8 plus 2" is the callsign for the fire trucks that did the water cannon salute.

At the 35 second mark, the controller is talking to a different aircraft, in the background, you can hear the other controller talking to Cactus 1167.

The feed at KCLT scans TWR and GND, so there is some parts missing, but you get the idea...

Enjoy!
