Airbus 320 Mircle on the Hudson

Airbus 320 Sullenberger airplane model. As the undisputed leader in the single-aisle category, Airbus’ A320 is the aircraft family of choice for airlines around the world – from low-cost operators to mainline carriers. With the widest single-aisle cabin in the sky, passengers appreciate the spacious environment from the moment they board an A320. On a January day in 2009, countless New Yorkers glancing out their windows saw an alarming sight: a low-flying passenger plane over the Hudson River. It was not terrorism, as some may have feared. Instead, it was an aircraft in deep distress. The Airbus A320 had catastrophically hit a flock of geese shortly after takeoff and was about to attempt a landing in the river that would soon become known as the Miracle on the Hudson. Scale 1/100. Wingspan 13.5 inches, Length 15 inches.
