I agree. It's not junk. You can look at the pictures and see that the structure is in fine shape. Problem is, it's just structure. All those open bays in the fuse have a black box that fits 'em. Nothing in the panel. Hydraulics are probably in a similar state (non-existent). So, it's not like this is a bargain. They realized it will be next to impossible for a non-government agency to get ahold of what's needed to fly it and are trying to dump it. THe other jets they work on, like the A-4 and T-37 are way simple by comparison.

From what I've read, when NASA needed a F-18 for experimental flying, they got one on a truck in siimilar shape. They rebuilt it and got it flying. The result was the HARV program.

So, they might be able to sell it to someone in need of structure for maintenance training or something along those lines.
