Steely Dan Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 What am I bid? http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/01/21/hudson.pl...dex.html?hpt=T2 New York (CNN) -- Passengers of US Airways Flight 1549 could soon have a unique souvenir from their harrowing flight that ended in New York's Hudson River -- although it would be quite a large one. The plane famously landed with 155 people aboard in the frigid river waters by Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger last January after a bird strike disabled its engines is up for auction. The plane, an Airbus A320-214, is listed for sale "AS IS/WHERE IS" at a salvage yard in Kearny, New Jersey. Will it be sold to a company for parts or do you think a guy will buy it and cut it up and sell pieces on eBay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv's Neighbor Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 The FAA N Number data base shows the Plane's N number has been cancelled. Anything of value is already gone-like the engines. Maybe Budweiser will bid on it. Better yet, maybe Genesee. The Hudson River has some similarities to Hemlock Lake. I'd like to have the unused DITCH SWITCH!
