What a shame - I'd originally heard (albeit some time ago) that it was going to be used by Queensland TAFE (in a JV with Boeing?) as an instructional airframe...of course finding room may have been a problem but surely they could have kept something for instruction, e.g. major structure like the centre/wing box area???
Oh well, now we have the worldwide distinction of breaking up the first 737-300 not the result of an accident...a 16 year old airframe with only 43k hours/31k cycles. An unfortunate victim of industry timing and of course...accountants.
