Aren't many of these 50 year old airframes are being decommissioned and towed to aircraft boneyards anyway? I assume most of the aircraft would still be usable

Aren't many of these 50 year old airframes are being decommissioned and towed to aircraft boneyards anyway? I assume most of the aircraft would still be usable for being picked apart there.
And to be a movie prop it doesn't need to even have all the parts for airworthiness, it could practically be an empty hull with broken engines and you wouldn't see a difference.
- holler 6y agoYeah there's a huge boneyard at Davis–Monthan Air Force Base near Tucson, AZ. I would imagine that many of those will sit there into perpetuity, some scrapped for parts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davis%E2%80%93Monthan_Air_Force_Base https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davis%E2%80%93Monthan_Air_Forc...
- tyingq 6y agoPretty sure that's the play. Buy it while it's still certified, but almost on its way to the boneyard.
