looks like the insurance company is going to auction off the Sully and Jeff's Airbus.

I would be nice if they took the stick and thrust levers out and gave the side stick to Sully and the thrust levers to Jeff or something like that. Looks like the charts are still sitting on the left seat.

Yeah, I'd agree....be nice if both those guys could grab the side sticks and thrust levers, etc...

The cockpit looks pretty good....I think the rest could be buffed out.

Maybe a little speed tape here and there...

It may be bought by charity.....

Looks like there are plans to buy the hulk, and recycle the aluminum to make "snow geese nesting stations" along the Hudson river.....

Make a restaurant out of it, call it the Miracle Diner.

Yeah! That would work out perfectly alongside the USS Intrepid there on the Hudson.

That's where it belongs anyway...Next to the Intrepid, Where the "miracle" happened!

I would bet someone buys it and chops it up into small pieces and sells them on ebay. 'Own you own piece of the Miracle on the Hudson!'

Things like Sullies windscreen/stick would go for big bucks.
