1. They're not going to be able to use that one again, are they...?

Hard to make it go with mud in the MCDU.

2. It'll probably end up eventually as spare parts. n/t

14. That plane's destined for the boneyard.

It'll never fly again.

Maybe a few parts are salvagable, but water damage is a bitch, so I highly doubt anything electronic, or anything remotely susceptible to corrosion or water damage would be salvageable.

This plane's probably gonna end up being turned into pop cans.

6. Thanks for the pics!

I wanted to ask you: When they lifted the plane out of the Hudson, did they pumped the fuel out first?

:shrug:

10. I saw those! Amazing stuff.

I've got pics of the passenger cabin interior that I will post later on this morning after I do my chores.

12. They're gonna have to apply for a salvage title, which kills the resale value.

Might be able to sell it to a taxi service.

15. When buying a plane, make sure you get a PLANEFAX aircraft history report

You don't want to end up flying a Katrina plane, do you?

16. "Hey, did you run back the hour meter?"

"Is that sawdust in the turbines?"

"And fish"

"And fois gras?"

13. Neat stuff. Thanks.

No skid-marks on the seat. That Sully is a cool customer.

18. What do pilots usually carry in a flight bag?

You always see them with one. Just curious.
