Good for him.
At the least, he's saving currently scrap-able (non-cared for types that aren't being saved...the F-105 might be the exception) and saving them for a time when they'll be better appreciated.

Good on this gentleman for saving these aircraft! Too bad the Soplatas/Reinerts/Cleavers of the future won't have the same opportunity to pick up planes like these through government sales. I wish the Chanute birds could have had their execution stayed by some backyard enthusiasts, at least...

With ample room for more! These are my favorite type posts. Everyone should have secured backyard boneyards, so long as the interested can nose around with friendly guided tours. Good clean fun.
