Sky catcher airframes in dumpsters at Cessna-Literally

[bradp]

Agree with peeve on this one. Confluence of economic forces and bad product for the market. Vastly over priced and under performing product. Throw in a little third class medical reform into the mix and nobody really wants an LSA anymore.

Also agree that the disposal is sickeningly wasteful. I'll take the Garmin units off their hands...

Anyone up for dumpster diving in KS let me know.

It's sad to see, but I can understand Textron's decision. They tried to sell them and nobody wanted them. Fire saying them just to get rid of them does them no favors and just burns those customers that did actually buy them. Scraping them eliminates all potential future liability. Cessna knows a thing or two about what it's like to be sued. Those engines have been sitting how long? Selling them is just more liability. Basically selling any of this stuff is just liability.

It is what it is. They made a mistake and now they made it go away. In spite of recent Supreme Court decisions, corporations are not people and they have no emotions. They have bottom lines, that's it.

Watch the videos on YouTube of BMW destroying new cars... happens all the time folks.

I once worked at the Chrysler Proving Grounds and would walk through the boneyard looking at all of the perfectly good cars...all going to the scrap yard.

All I can say is that my base model Dodge truck had several OEM "upgrades"...
