For sale: One severely water-damaged jet, hero not included.

The US Airways plane that Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger deftly landed on New York's Hudson River a year ago after a flock of geese disabled its engines is being auctioned.

Insurance firm Chartis, which is holding the online auction, describes the Airbus A320, minus its two engines, as having severe water damage throughout the airframe and impact damage to its underside.

Bidding on the plane, being held on a site in Kearny, New Jersey, continues until March 27.
