Email for shipping quote.When I was a kid in the 1970's, my Grandfather and Father bought and sold small quantitiesof military surplus via the DRMO, Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office sales. There was no internet so a plain black and white magazine of item descriptions with no pictures came once a month and you faxed your sealed offer, blind without ever seeing what you were offerding on. I had $50.00 in my back account so they let me offer on trucks. I won two scrap, demilitarizedtrucks for $50. We sold them for $250. to a coal mining company in PA that needed the axles and differentials. I turned my $50. into $200 and I was hooked. In 1995, I won 107 jettisonable wingtip fuel tanks for F4F Phantom II out of an Airforce base in AZ. They were 18' long x 3' diameter and 300 gallon capacity. I only paid $500. and sold them the next morning for $8,000. I told the base scrapper I sold the tanks to, not to send all the money but to send me parts. He said, "What do you want?" I said, "What do you got?" He sates, 107 demilitarizedB-52's. No kidding. I asked how much and he said $3.00 per pound. OK, I'll take $8,000 worth of a forward fuselage. Thus began a summer long odyssey of how to get a B-52 from AZ to Ohio. With the landing gear up they are 15' tall so I failed to get her home. In my defense I was 25 years old and never saw it. I was thousandsof miles away. Now that the plane is long gone, I learned how to do it with ease but at the time, I had no clue. In the end the scrapper sent the B-52 items you now see here offered for sale.
