Why would they do this?

Cause it spent 3 days in the Hudson?

Good museum display!

Buy it and then sell off pieces to interested collectors. A commemorative thing or something. Would be pretty cool to have hanging from your wall.

It comes with a instantaneous vario. Just does not beep.
Highly misleading thread, though.

What's this puppies glide ratio?

 

[The Gardener]

What's this puppies glide ratio?

Capt. Sully could tell you!

 

[KSCessnaDriver]

What's this puppies glide ratio?

Greater than that of the Space Shuttle, but less than that of a competition glider. Beyond that, I have no clue

Or turn it into something like this:

[The G-Man]

I bid $2k on it. I think it would make a great backyard fort.
