A. Any person who has been issued a valid salvage permit by the aviation division may, within sixty days after the date of issuance of the permit, enter any land specified therein for the specific purpose of salvaging and removing the crashed aircraft specified therein.

B. Any person entering land under Subsection A of this section shall be strictly liable to the owner or lessee of the land, whichever is in possession, for any damages caused by the entry or removal.

C. After removing the aircraft within six months from the date the permit was issued, the permit holder has title to the aircraft free from all claims of the previous owner, of any holders of a prior terminated permit, of the owner or lessee of the land on which the aircraft was located and of all persons claiming through or under them. The salvage permit and a notarized statement certifying that the terms and conditions under which the permit was issued have been fulfilled shall constitute valid evidence of title.

D. If the crashed aircraft, specified in any salvage permit issued by the aviation division, is not removed within six months from the date of the issuance of the permit, then the permit shall be automatically terminated and invalid.
