What is their reason for scrapping them?
"Kyle Boatright" wrote in message ... 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. KB "ORVAL FAIRAIRN" wrote in message news ![]() 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? |
