Sully may be the Hero of the Hudson, the Pilot of Perfection, the Ace of the Air -- but dude's still gotta pee.

We got him coming out of the cockpit after his flight from LaGuardia to Charlotte, N.C., where after getting congratulated for making a safe landing ... he made a b-line straight for the facilities.
This concludes today's coverage of SUUULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

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 -- 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?

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.

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.
