Reporters and cameramen crammed themselves into a US Airways flight for Sully's "return to the sky" -- but they were all duped, because it wasn't his first flight back!
Though passengers cheered like it was Sully's big comeback when he hit the loudspeaker, truth is, he'd already piloted another plane hours earlier -- and one more back in September.
However, this was his first flight with the same route as the Hudson River incident -- only this time, the plane MADE IT to North Carolina ... and without any goose fatalities.
SUCCESS!!!! SUUULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Sully Sullenberger's life is prime for a movie adaption -- but dude definitely hasn't gone Hollywood.
Despite heaps of praise, a book deal and a whole lotta national attention ... during a press conference today, when he was asked how things have changed since he pulled off the Miracle on the Hudson, he replied "hardly at all."
Sulllllllllllllyyyyyyy pulled off his first flight back in the cockpit today -- without any interference from geese.

Sully Sullenberger -- the grand master of flying planes with and without engines -- made his triumphant return completely above the Hudson this morning in NYC.
According to the New York Daily News, his flight took off at 7:55 a.m. from Charlotte, N.C. to New York City.
Everyone arrived safe and sound, as always.
Who says flying is for the birds?

Canada geese and river boaters beware -- because the badass pilot of Flight 1549 Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger says he'll "be back at work soon!!!!!!"
We found the humble hero yesterday at the D.C. airport -- where, for now, he was just a passenger.
