Do we really think a surplus seller with several barns full of F-14 parts
will just scrap them if the US doesn't need them? Hmmmm, wonder where he
will sell them??

He should sell them to U.S. citizens who are maintaining and flying
their own F-14s. If there aren't enough of those, the surplus program
is already doing something wrong.

Errrr, how many millions does it take per year to keep up a F-14? Don't
blame the surplus program blame the economy that isn't churing out rich guys
fast enough : )
