How do old helicopters, like the Hueys and light duty stuff get surplussed out? I know they do, because there are a number of civilian and commercial users of these old helos, including the logging industry, police, crop dusters and fire fighters, sightseers and warbird collectors. I just never see a GL auction for them.
And yes, I know you can't buy a Apache or Blackhawk, don't think I'm that stupid. We're talking older utility and oberservation helos here.
I am asking, because I just got back from Mechanicsburg PA where I saw two nearly complete OH-6 Cayuses in Navy Rescue garb parked among the rest of the worn out deuces and surplus in the outside lot. Be a shame for a couple old Tweety Birds to get cut up....
