I would love to see a picture done like those but with type S scouts.
Given retired scouts can get a type S to roam in I guess those sort of boneyards would be rare in the Imperium.
Yeah, I live about 5 miles away from the AMARC Boneyard. There’s a lot of them there that were broken up per one or the other SALT treaties, <http://www.aerialarchives.com/stock/img/AHLB3543R.jpg> but they have a lot more as parts stores.

Greatest challenge was converting analog flight controls to digital. Most of the fleet was retired due to cost of that even if the airframes were still good. This was in the post-Vietnam budget cuts. Nothing to do with technology or capability.

You have to wonder if they went through the fleet and picked the most beat-up ones for the treaty…
