Map for “Highest Duty” by Captain Sullenberger

Flight 1549 MapThe story of Captain “Sully” Sullenberger safely landing US Air flight 1549 on the Hudson River is probably not news to anyone, but today his first-person account of the ordeal is released as “Highest Duty: My Search for What Really Matters” from HarperCollins Publishers.

We are very excited to have been a part of this book, creating the map of the route of flight 1549.  We used data published by the NTSB from the black box recorder to recreate the route, along with notes from Captain Sullenberger to annotate the events of that day.

The map was created in an oblique 3-dimensional style to help illustrate the flight path and hopeful give a sense of place to this event.
