Bert,

Bear in mind the real tragedy of that decision...as usual Bell was very short-sighted in their business stategy. The "new" Bell 210 program uses those very same surplus hulks for the core of the 210.

So...all those "like new" airframes that got crushed....could be seeing new life as a 210. Compare the Army's decision to rebuild "A" model Chinooks into "D" and now "F" model Chinooks.
