Original unit cost $295,000

Paying a scrap company $12,000 to get rid of them

Economics?

I especially love the line in the other Time article:

McPeak, a former F-15 pilot, suggests the fact that all three dead T-3 instructor pilots flew bulky cargo planes before coming to the academy might have contributed to the accidents. "Maybe if you'd had three fighter pilots in there instead of three C-141 pilots, you wouldn't have had the same result."

This is why I am not in the Air Force, it actually made me laugh out loud.

Smile boys! Probably the ugliest trainer I've seen yet. If it didnt have a prop, I would have mistakened it for a glider.
