Hi Ed,

I seem to recall that some years ago Richard Collins scrapped his well used C210 because he could not in good conscience sell it on to someone else. If this is your case then by all means follow your moral compass. But if not, it's hard to imagine that a scrapyard is the financially ideal course. And it's disappointing to see the fleet diminished by yet one more aircraft if not absolutely necessary. And so if the airframe is not absurdly high time or afflicted with extensive corrosion why not just sell it to someone who can maintain it. The entire country does not mirror the Chicago market. I could imagine that if the aircraft needs extensive refurbishment with new engines and avionics, parting it out yourself might yield a better return but that takes time and effort that I don't suppose you would care to invest. However it would seem that selling it to a scrapyard would be the last resort, both financially and out of respect for the model. On the other hand, I suppose that for the few of us left to soldier on, having more salvage parts available could be a good thing.

Best wishes, Steve G.
