Turns out Scully was actually in the captain's seat on flight 1050, he wasn't just a passenger. 1549 first officer Jeff Skiles was his co-pilot.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
Warning: kooks on board.
"I feel like I'm flying with angels," said Linda Culbertson, 68, of Leicester, N.C...."What a great omen. I mentioned him in my prayers last night. I told God I hoped I would get a pilot as good as Sully. This is an answer to my prayers," she said. "He can handle anything. I'm afraid of water, but if we go in the water, he'll rescue me."

1549 happened five days before Obama's inauguration, in the euphoric days when much of the nation believed he was a savior riding in on a unicorn to save the country (including airliners in distress) and would soon have his visage chiseled into Mount Rushmore. The painting is poking fun at those people. Or something. :)
The artist has a whole collection of Obama on a Unicorn paintings, as well as various people with pancakes on their heads. A lot of them are pretty funny. http://www.faithmouse.com/obama_unicorns.html

wow, 5 days to Obama's Inauguration? I guess I never realized they were so close!
But makes sense, I recall Sully went down on Thursday, Obama went up on Tuesday.

1427 has landed safely in CLT. No geese or turbines were harmed during this flight.

Didn't US Airways retire AWE1549 after the incident? Were they going to bring the flight number back for the day?
I do but US Airways will be releasing that information soon.
They almost put him on the same flight 1549...

Thanks for sharing. Nice to see Ron in there.
Got nothing but respect for the man, but what is with the UNION PILOT on his ID? Is that mandatory?

Great shots, emshighway. This morning was quite a thrill for me and it was great seeing Sully and Jeff again. For those interested in this story I would expect a lot of coverage on this evening local and national news. The amount of press their this morning was really impressive to say the least, most I have ever seen at LGA.
Cheers
