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?

TMZ went live with Mike Walters and Nicole Fertile today to field any and all questions you could throw at them -- including whether or not Jermaine Jackson's MJ tribute is actually going to happen, and why Sully the heroic pilot stopped flying.

If even one person died during that amazing airplane landing on the Hudson River in January, this would be the most tasteless thing ever. But everyone was fine, so instead it's an iPhone game.

One of the top flight simulator programs around has released a game where you take on the roll of Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger by forcing you to make an emergency landing in the Hudson. The plane actually suffers engine failure as the result of a bird strike and -- are you ready for this??? -- features the actual audio communication between air traffic control and US Airways Flight 1549.
Flight school is expensive, but the app is only 99 cents.

He's a man of few words, but hero pilot Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger says he's got nothin' but mad love for NYC.

We got the real-life superhero in New York today after being handed the Key to the City -- and dude couldn't look happier or act more humble.
