[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 375220, member: 7544"] Why not, they pay a few thousand for toilet seats or anything else that meets mil specs so why not pay a few million so some pilot that may be a civilian this time next year can go out and shoot down a real jet fighter. After all, it's not like they can't glue them back together and let more pilots shoot at it too. Makes perfect sense in military logic to take a jet that's got to be worth a small fortune if you sold it off to the public. Even if you scrapped all the aluminum and sold the engine and key parts, it's better than some pilot getting his thrills from a one time thing and letting it sit at the bottom of the ocean after it's all said and done. Gov waste like this really pisses me off. :? [/QUOTE]
