This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Sorry, but that's life. You can't talk about modern day jets with out politics
Yes you can. And if you want to play by the rules, you will.

In April 2010 when we were there I spotted these ones sitting over by the B-52 hulks:

Just a few set aside for museums...

There's an F-14 tucked away down here at Goodfellow AFB in the DoD Fire School area. Flown in to Mathis Field, it was moved by road to GAFB. Why? Your guess is as good (or mo' betta) than mine!

Well at least they saved a few. I don't like seeing aircraft scrapped but if they are of little or no use to the military why spend the dollars keeping them around? Even if they were sold to the public who could afford to keep it flyable? However, would make a nice lawn ornament.
