Did you know that many of the scenes of the movie “Sully” were filmed right here in the state of Georgia? It’s true and I am fixing to spill the beans on the film’s scene locations that were filmed here in the peach state.

Sully, which was directed by Oscar-winning director Clint Eastwood was produced in honor of the historic miracle landing on the Hudson River which is better known as the “miracle on the Hudson”.
Oscar winning actor Tom Hanks stars in the movie as Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger who help guide his disabled plane onto the frigid waters of the Hudson River on January 15, 2009. By the grace of the one above, Sully was able to land the plane and save all 155 lives on board.
Now to the part you have all been waiting for the movie’s filming locations in Georgia!
The Healy Building and the JW Marriott Buckhead were both used as the interiors and exterior of the Alex Hotel where Sully and his co-pilot Jeff Skiles stayed.
The Atlanta Center for Medical Research was used to copy and resemble the St. Luke’s Hospital.
Meehan’s Public House was used to film the Landmark Tavern scene where Sully stops in for a drink.
The movie’s filmmakers also filmed some scenes in the Courtyard Atlanta located in Norcross, Georgia. This was the scenes of Sully in his hotel room.
The scenes of Sully’s house were filmed at a private home in Alpharetta, Georgia.
The Peach State Aerodome in Williamson, Georgia were used to stand in for the scenes of the Texas airfield landing strip.
The Gwinnett Technical College in Lawrenceville, Georgia stood in for the interiors of the air traffic control room, the office and the NTSB hearing room.
