F111 disposal

'Theiss chosen because of their huge expertise'. I can only say that I'm deeply unimpressed by this. I'll keep my eyes open for when Aus has any navy assets to dispose of - presumably by then Theiss will have developed huge expertise in digging really, really big holes.

We've got one as a gate guard here at wagga, along with a few other aircraft.

 

I'd be keen to see Temora Aviation get their hands on one, not that it would ever happen due to the end of use agreement.

I think that you will find that Thiess already have that kind of "expertise", essentially, that is what they specialize in....creating and removing "holes in the ground".

I think its a damn shame. They may have been made in the USA but they have been Australia's signature icon aircraft in the post WW2 years.

 

I saw that a P51 sells for about $ 3 000 000 US these days. How many of those ended up in landfill?
