Once upon a time, some Navy folks were saying that battleships would never
be needed. They tied a bunch up to a dock in Hawaii. They were wrong.
Older aircraft should be properly mothballed. Or heck, use them as
"Weasels" like they did with F-105's and F-4's. Or just for the hell of it,
pull the weapons, and sell them cheap to US citizens. Wouldn't be hard to
keep track of them.

What else could be done? They are obsolete in design and combat use.
The Navy no longer needs a long range anti-air platform, the phoenix
missile has no targets in the world. The military is scrapping everything
of no use and making the money for fund operations to defend us from islam
wackos. The Tomcat is once again defending us.
