C-123K 54-610/N3836A up for auction

[Chris Brame]

Poor thing's had its wings sawn off, but looks intact enough to make a static display, or a really cool piece of yard art or even a "tiny house":

Wonder why Hill AFB is getting rid of it?

Are those outer wings not just removed at the standard outer wing joint?

Wonder why Hill AFB is getting rid of it?

Judging by the paint, I'd wager it has never been on display.
Which might beg the question as to why they had it in the first place?
I wonder if the type has an association with Hill, perhaps the Depot supported them back in the day?

Perhaps they're just doing a general clean-up.
They sadly scrapped their rare, and not too rough, B-47 a few years ago.

[Andy Marden]

This is at least the third time they have tried to auction it.
Presumably it was just too far gone to restore.

Isnt it kinda odd that it has no known owners other than the USAF even though it got an N number in the 1980s...

Incorrect: it has a number of owners: the USAF Museum sold it (unregistered) to TBM Inc of Tulare, GA on 09Mar83. TBM placed it on the civil register and then sold it to Butler Aircraft Co of Redmond, OR on 30May83 etc etc....
