Default What happens when a glider reaches its end-of-life?

Hi all,

Novice question here.....what happens when some of these vintage (or
even more modern) gliders reach their airframe end-of-life or number
of landing limits?


Is the aircraft now salvage or can things be done to refurbish it?
What things, if any, are typically done and about how many "additional
hours" does this give the glider?

Michael,

This is the great benefit to owning an old wood glider. the parts grow
on trees.
