I'm going to the junkyard

10/5/09 | |

Aviation salvage operation, that is.  I've been wanting to go for quite some time now and I know of one in Griffin, GA.  I'd like to visit the boneyards out West, but a visit to our smaller version will have to do for now.  I'm hoping to get a small tour of the place and ask a few questions; the email response on that hasn't come back, yet.

The whole process is very interesting to me; how it works and who all is involved.  It's kind of like the circle of life-- minus the whole emotional part.  Seemingly every part of a plane that isn't completely destroyed in an incident gets refurbished and sold.  I'll know more about it soon, hopefully.

I have a hidden agenda as well [cue mysterious music].  I'm looking to obtain an aircraft seat of some sort.  I'm cheap, so I'm hitting the salvage yards first; I'd rather not spend more than $200.
