Were the so different from civil versions they couldn't be sold, or is it simply because of noise regulations?
Wouldn't be noise Chevv - they have the same Garrett TFE-731 turbofans as the civil '700's of that era - and there are plenty of them still in use.
I recall a thread some time ago listing a whole heap of equipment that was to be removed from the airframes before sale which "would make future use as flying aircraft unlikely"
Sad to see them off to the breakers though.
