I think nobody is looking at these things as a resource, just junk. They should go to a scrap yard and be available for people who want to use them to make stuff. - affordable housing? Shore up hillsides which are crumbling? (PCH in California, these hills are melting down year after year.) -- On topic side story - after WW2 we had a crazy number of surplus military aircraft, which were stored in the high desert here in Cali. On a camping trip about 30 years ago I noticed the picnic tables were under an oddly shaped metal roof - airplane wings, recycled to make shade!
