Hero pilot Captain Chesley B. Sullenberger, III will be a guest of honor at Book Expo America this year.
Sullenberger, who became a household name after safely landing US Airways flight 1549 in the Hudson River, is set to appear on Saturday, May 30 at 3:00 pm. Sullenberger, who signed a two book deal with William Morrow worth a reported $3 million, will be delivering a speech and signing promotional material; he will be appearing on one of BEA's two author stages at the Javist Center.
Captain Sullenberger will be a draw in a year in which BEA is seeing a decrease in the number of exhibitors because of the recession.
