Admire aircraft wonders at Carolina's Aviation Museum In a fascinating display of past meets present, Carolina's Aviation Museum takes residence near the city's modern-day hub for flight, Charlotte Douglas International Airport. The expansive aircraft hangar houses commercial and civil aircraft relics whose places in the annals of aircraft history are chronicled on informational placards. It's also home to retired military jets, including a D-558-1 Skystreak—one of only two in existence. The museum's pièce de résistance is the "Miracle on the Hudson" exhibit, which features the actual A320 Airbus that Captain Chelsey "Sully" Sullenberger heroically landed on the Hudson River following engine failure in 2009. This impressive museum pays beautiful tribute to North Carolina's first-in-flight legacy. Neighborhood: Airport 3 TO SEE IN 28208 By Emily Farrington Smith WHAT'S IN A NUMBER? LOTS.
