The problem is the service in question. I find it funny that the only service who makes a huge deal out of warbird recoveries from the depths and jungles is also the only one that makes a big deal about the sales of surplus aircraft. I e-mailed my contact out at AMARC several months ago only to find out that the C-2 Greyhounds that were supposed to be released to surplus still haven't (they were supposed to be released 3 years ago), and I doubt any other ex-Navy aircraft out there will be released in the near future. However, the other services have had no issue releasing its aircraft to surplus or scrap. It's kinda sad to see a single service be so anal while the other 3 (Air Force, Army, Coast Guard) don't have much issue with it.
