What a cryin' shame. Haven't they heard of eBay? They could have made a bundle selling parts off her.

Doing it that way makes no friggin sense to me! Obviously, I am missing something.

Aero Union Corp. Chico Municipal Airport in Northern California. There are 2 others on the ramp also, Tankers 16 and 18.. I'm guessing they will be scrapped too. There were four SP2H's total. Tanker 03 was sold to a company in Chile in the late 90's.. I wonder where it is now.. 01 was the first one converted to a tanker. Sad to see it cut up for scrap, spent some time working on that aircraft..
