Fly the same flight path as US Airways Fligth 1549 which landed in the Hudson River after both engines were lost due to bird strikes. You can use the free built-in flight simulator of Google Earth. The simulator is of an F-16 fighter jet, but with careful practice and low throttle settings you can approximate the flight. Read more at the Google Earth Blog here:

  • cool, is that red flight path built in with google? or did you make it yourself

  • I created the flight path by connecting the data points which came from FlightAware. Follow the tinyURL link at the beginning of the video for complete details and a link to the file with the path you can load in Google Earth. There are also tips on how to fly the flight simulators.

  • dude your pretty good, how much time did it take you to master google earth simulator? it took me about 3 weeks! and by the way u should try microsoft flight simulator. its pretty more realistic with more planes.

  • i did tht lol but i landed it on water it was lol so does tht mean i am betta pilot thn u ??

  • Great job! :-)

    If i ever need a pilot then I 'll call you!

  • Nice job! but your plane crashed at the end. but if you slow down the plane you would be able to actually land the plane on te water!

  • Nice work! As a hang glider pilot who uses Naviter SeeYou to analyze his flights in 3D animation I can appreciate this. Thanks!
