How airplanes are recycled. Hate to see those poor planes get torn up. I’d give ‘em a good home.

    It is being wasted doing this. Those would have a long service left in them with a C-5 AMP-esque program. The 727 could live much more with 737NG avionics and systems. And fitting those would cost just about a 737 without engines.

    Tell ya what, you’d be spewing seeing this if you were one of the blokes that helped build this thing, but it’s good to see that the scrap will be put to good use, and not wasted
