Found this site from another forum I frequent.  This place is in Miami.  Seems legit to me, but I don't think anyone can request a quote and buy what they're selling.

Good stuff...

And for those who want more...the US Govt. auctions directly to the public.

For example, a "scrap" P-3 Orion on auction until 4/11.  Starting bid is $1000. Currently no bidders. Wouldn't that look great in your back-yard?

or...a Blackhawk helicopter for $250,000 starting bid. Auction ends April 4. Forget DCS...empty out your 401K and fly the real thing.

or...60 cases of Huggies Natural Care Sensitive Baby Wipes, one day left, current bid is $25....(oh never-mind..).

I attended a wedding on this ship. It was glorious.

Yeah I noticed that too.  He's lucky he had the time to think about it.

I'd say the water's cold.

Seems like the pilot thought about riding it out.... then maybe the end of the runway got too close
