Raytheon Aircraft buying back Starships

Not sure if it is the right forum, so Mods, feel free to move

I just read in the august edition of Aerokurier that Raytheon is buying back the Beech Starships from their original owners, in order to have them scrapped (actually burnt down).

As far as I understood, this is because of rocketting spare part prices.

Out of the 53 Starships built, 43 have been bought back. Museums have made requests to get some, but no decision has been made yet wether any aircraft could escape destruction.

Has anyone got more news on that ?
