comparing both methods!!

Some more DM scrapyard notes
=======================
* Western Int'l -
N308D L-188 full National Science Foundation c/s, parked

* K-Tech Aviation -
They have moved locations from near DMI Aviation to now where Bob's Airpark
used to be. Bob's is no longer around, all of the helicopters have been
moved to a nearby scrapyard. K-Tech has 6 or 7 ex-AMARC B707 airframes, all
easily seen from the road. I haven't stopped to log them yet as I have them
all when they were inside AMARC.

* DMI Aviation -
Nearby, the ex-USAir DC-9 fuselages still remain dumped in the grass. From
a past log, these are N940VJ, N989VJ, and N975VJ. Also nearby is C-131 5781
in faded USCG markings.

* National Aircraft -
MANY ex-AMARC B707s are now in this yard. The USAF auctioned a 'lot of 20'
(or 25) airframes a few months ago, and maybe more to come. I'll try to tie
these airframes up when the weather is cooler - they are packed in there
tightly. I also spotted ex USAir DC-9 N956VJ still visible - as a pile of
scrap metal!! Reg was visible on one piece of metal (for those desparate
few)..

News update

* B757 N903PG is now at the AMS hangar at PHX, still wearing ex-BA c/s with no titles.
* DC-9 N924LG now gone from TUS
* N308D L-188 Electra landed at DMA, and was later seen at the Western Int'l scrapyard at Tucson, wearing full National Science Foundation c/s and titles.
* N428MX A320 was flight testing at MHV earlier this week, is the last A320 there for onward delivery to Mexicana. Still a/w.
