Caption Contest #63 Winner - That's Jacked!

 So as it turns out, this Caption Contest was over in just a few minutes since the first submission wound up as the winner! Congrats to 'Don' for being fast in getting the definitive caption in just a few minutes after I posted the game. I hope you've got plans to be at Oshkosh 2012 to get your bacon sandwhich prize : )

 I didn't see any info on what exactly is really going on in this pic. I assume it's real, but it seems a bit odd to have this hull sitting in such a wide open ramp area. It looks a lot like the A320 from the Hudson ditching (see 15 pix of Cactus 1549) but it's not. If anyone knows what the specific deal is, please let us know.

Watch next Monday for another Caption Contest. I found a great pic a couple days ago for more harmless avgeek fun!

rcpylon- Hey, thanx for the input... salvage does seem to make a lot of sense here.

It's an Iberia a320, EC-HKJ, that crash landed at Bilbao Airport in 2001.
