| Subject: | Glassair III, SX300 to be destroyed? |
I stopped for fuel yesterday in Winona, MN and the guy at the FBO said that the
A&P school that had been there had moved to Duluth, and they were cutting up
the airplanes that were not getting moved to the new location. So I walked down
to take a look.
Included in the planes supposedly to be destroyed are a Glassair III N717SM and
a SX-300 N888SX. I peaked inside and the planes still have radios, HSIs and full
instruments! The guy at the FBO said that the owners had donated the planes
to the school instead of selling them so they did not have any liability issues
from selling them! Here are pictures.

I taxied past the planes on my way to the runway and took some pictures. Other
planes that will be scrapped include an L-19, a TriPacer, a T-33, a twin Beech,
a Aztec, and a Hiller helicopter. Pictures can be seen at

Does anyone know of a way to recover these planes or at least the avionics and
engines?

Not really - we've become a truly litigious society. When lawyers
have convinced everyone that they can blame someone else for their
idiocy, everyone, except the lawyers, loose.

In all likelihood, the donations were conditional in that ownership
never be transferred in any way. As was stated, the previous owners
didn't want any liability trail but at least found a use for the plane
they felt was beneficial for a while. I don't know if that included
parting the plane out, but what parts would be OK and what parts might
impose liability on the builder is hard to say.

I should think that if the N number was sanded off and the aircraft sold as
scrap, there would be no liability trail. I can see no difference if a rubbish
man hauls the planes away and sells various components as junk.
