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?

Marv's Neighbor Posted January 24, 2010 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!
