Two of the aircraft in their “collection,” H-19 and T-33, currently on eBay:

It appears so. The 105 and other items have been listed on a FB page they set up to sell items-

Wow - they are pretty proud of that F-105 - $150K?? I'm no expert but that seems like a lot for what will most likely become a static at best. And I see they have a set of old F-16 wings and a few F-86Ds laying around. .

My thoughts as well. The H-19D (history below) started at 20K and is now on eBay at 15K or offer. Zoom in close to the images and you can see the extensive corrosion on its magnesium skin. Sadly, this one will be lucky to end up as a prop at a paintball park for a couple grand.

H-19D, S/N 55-4944 (c/n 55996) delivered to U.S. Army 08/02/1956. To civil market as N37800, modified by Orlando Helicopter Airways for agricultural application. To C&W Ag Air, West Fulton, NY, April 1979. It suffered a hard landing following loss-of-power in 1986 and again in 1992, the latter resulting in “substantial damage” with the main rotor chopping off the tail boom.

An F-86D and an L. The F-86D has USAFE history and I'd love that one to get restored.
