“Parked there for months.” Who would wish this end to life on any airplane, let alone what was once a state of the art airplane? Unfortunately derelicts are increasingly becoming part of ramp scenery, ie one Lear 23, two Lear 24s and one Lear 25 at my home airport in full view from my open hangar door. They’ll never fly again but I’d never want to see them come to this end. Their owners have quit paying for ramp space, they are too cheap to pay salvage costs, and local authorities seem powerless to remove them. However if I am ever caught self refueling my own vintage airplane even with approved containers and methods on airport premises they promise me I’ll be evicted.
