I'm not sure why the C-47 and T-39 would legally required to be shredded, they are not "weapons" since they're civil types.

Good to see that the NMUSAF got a lot of parts off the Albatross. I hate to see that one go.
It's serial number, 17200, was the one on the old Monogram kit I had as a kid (explained by this example being the prototype for the long-wing "B" conversion) and looked at for many years.
