There are lots of shops in Arizona that sell airline bodys. Its not
likely they'll donate them but perhaps you could find a sponsor.

Isn't there a military bone-yard at Davis Mountain in AZ? I believe
the government owns all the corroding hulks there. It would seem that
it would be a simple matter to get the USAF to donate a few for
another government agency.

Including 4-seet, single-engine aircraft in anti-terrorist training
not only sends the wrong message, it's ridiculous, IMO.

There are several aircraft junk yards that sell aircraft parts. To my
knowledge all the planes at Davis are mothballed (i.e. ready to fly in
something like 48 hours). Lots of great looking planes out there that
would be great fun to fly. I mentioned to my grandfather-in-law (who
lived out there) that it was sad to see all those planes just sitting
there when people like me could be flying them. He said "the boys
that would be flying those planes are out flying other planes". He was
a pretty cool old Army-Air corps dude. RIP.
