Anyone looking to get a first-class seat for Sully's big return to the sky, stand down -- because a bunch of people are already on standby.
TMZ has learned the pilot's first flight since that flock of geese fiasco is not only sold out, it's overbooked.
Sully takes off from LaGuardia Airport tomorrow, in hopes of landing in Charlotte, NC -- the same intended route as Flight 1549.

Action just seems to find the Governator -- Arnold Schwarzenegger's plane made an emergency landing this evening because of smoke in the cockpit.
The guv's plane was about ten minutes from touching down in Santa Monica, CA when the pilot reported the smoke, according to KTTV in Los Angeles.
The pilot made a quick, steep, and safe landing at Van Nuys airport, just north of Santa Monica.
Everyone onboard is okay. Arnold even twittered about the landing, saying it was, "a little adventure."
Yes. Ahnald twitters.

When Shaq posted this pic of a personalized private jet bearing his wife's name and face on his Twitter page Wednesday, it seemed like The Diesel had just one-upped any gift any man had ever given his lady ... until Shaunie blew his cover!

While it's not impossible to think Shaq has the kind of disposable income to blow on a PJ, Shaunie immediately cleared up any speculation, telling people via Twitter, "lol... Directly frm photoshop, lol."
This pic of Shaq's new hairdo however -- completely legit.

"Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane just did exactly what you'd expect the highest paid writer-producer in television to do -- he bought his own plane.

Seth reportedly pulled in a cool $100 million last year on a four-year contract. Consider the 13-seater a present to himself.

What does a bloated, sweaty, wild-eyed oil heir do for kicks? Why, he wraps himself in blue plastic and throws himself out of an airplane for a tandem skydive! Just another day in the privileged puffy life of Brandon "Greasy Bear" Davis.

The oily one took to the skies over Perris Valley, Calif., where his dripping sweat nearly flooded the valley floor. Sporting fancy pink goggles and a skintight jumpsuit from Armani's Shamu Collection, Greasy laughed it up with buddies who shared the adventure with the airborne beast.
Perris Valley authorities fielded numerous calls about a flying bear in a blue garbage bag.
