The plane's wings are expected to be trucked to North Carolina within the coming weeks. The 120-foot (36.58-meter)-long fuselage will head south in June.
All 155 people aboard US Airways Flight 1549 survived Captain Chesley Sullenberger's water landing minutes after the plane left New York's LaGuardia Airport.
The plane's interior is still littered with first-aid paraphernalia, life jackets and food and beverages still waiting to be served.
