Jaunted

The US Airways Airbus 320 was taken into possession by the insurance company Chartis, who are now looking to unload it. Currently in Kearny, NJ — the craft comes in quite a bit of pieces; check out the lot on the auction page. And as the site points out, the formal description on the page doesn't do justice to what the plane was a part of. It simply says: 'Aircraft suffered severe bird strike event resulting in water emergency landing.' And buyer beware! There's 'severe water damage throughout airframe.'

Too bad it's not in flyable condition any longer, but it'd make a great diner/conversation starter. More than likely, the remnants of the good old "Miracle of the Hudson" will be sold for scrap, since similar planes have sold for just over $2.5 million. That's a bit too rich for our blood; no more new guesthouse for us.
