Pretty neat web-sight Milton. I can see spending mucho time on it. It's a cold, calculated governmental money decision to get rid of/scrap 'obsolete' aircraft' after their service life is finished. I just wish the government could have put aside X amount of WWII aircraft,...knowing they would have a bright future with restorers and aviation museums.

This is the most depressing and sad quotes from the Kingman article:

In subsequent months, brand new aircraft directly from assembly lines were even disposed of at Kingman.

In addition, 38 of the military’s 118 Consolidated (Convair) B-32 "Dominator" heavy bombers were flown to Kingman, many directly from the assembly line in Fort Worth.
