What is their reason for scrapping them?

At some point, the US stopped selling surplus aircraft to civilians. Most
recent warbirds that ended up in private hands were the result of a
civilian
trading the government for the aircraft. For instance, if the USAF wanted
a
C-45 for the Air Force Muesum, and you had a well preserved example, they
might trade you a surplus aircraft for it.

So, in a roundabout way, some of the aircraft may end up in civilian
hands,
but probably not many. Presumably, the rest will go to foreign
governments
or will be scrapped.

I understand that the T-34C is now phased out of Naval service. I have
also heard rumors that the Navy, in their infinite wisdom, is going to
cut them all up, rather than sell them to willing civilian buyers.

Anybody out there know the truth?
