    Most of the bigger aircraft will probably be scraped.

    I wonder if I can acquire one of these. After all, they are disposing of them...

    What's your definition of "bigger?"

    The Benson Gyro (X-25A), Bell Helicopter (TH-13M) and Glider (TG-4A) are the only "light" aircraft, that is have an empty wt. < 5000#.

    The Huskie and the Aero Commander as well.

    My wife says I can put one in the front yard as long as I don't put it in her flower bed.

    I'm thinking of the B-52. Or hanging the F-104 from one of the oak trees.

    When I was a young 'un, there was a contest in a kids' magazine in which the winner was to receive an F-86 Sabre. Dearly wanted to win that one. Though recall some weasel-words in the ad: "Imagine how you'll fee donating this to your local park...."

    Buzz could have some fun times decorating the BUFF for Christmas...."Peace (is our Profession) On Earth".

    From the Museum of Aviation Robbins AFB Facebook page: "An F-86H that was used for parts for a restoration, an H-13 helicopter that required an extensive restoration, and a civilian Aero Commander painted up as a USAF U-4 have already been turned in for disposal. The National Museum of the USAF has authorized the museum to scrap the B-52, EC-135, T-39, and GTD-21 drone. The USAF owns the P2V (painted in the markings of a USAF RB-69)."

    Yeah, the world is just swimming in D-21 drones. Might as well cut up that very interesting piece of aviation history...

    Another interesting/unique aircraft they are doing away with is the RB-57F.
