The tooling for the plastic CL planes must still exist, doubt cox just tossed it....
ET, I hope you are right, but wouldn't bet on it. Once the front office puts in all the numbers, i.e., how much does it cost for storage of the tooling as opposed to what we can get for scrap, the answer is obivious. They only see today's bottom line. As an aerospace retiree, I have witnessed the same thing happen to millions of dollars worth of tooling, spare parts, rocket engines and yes, even entire Apollo Launch vehicles.
