Where old Cessna's go to die - salvage yard open day 

Yes the salvage yard in Dallas is one of the best for parts! Also fun!

It is Scott, Lancaster airport.

Most of these plane types were low number production runs so if you’ve an older plane and need parts you’ve not many options available. My dad has has a early 70s Cessna and needed to replace the nose gear cowling panel. It required a world wide search for a replacement took 7 months found one in Australia meanwhile the plane was grounded. Scrap and parts yards are a godsend to those whom like older planes . Not like cars as the government doesn’t give a dam what sorts of parts you use to repair your ground vehicles. In planes every nut bolt part must be inspected every year or no permit to fly it. Only alternative is to have brand new parts custom made at a exceptional high cost

no matter, many used can buy and work well next all you life in old planes.

only totally idiot waste money and buy alltime only new parts old airplane. because used old can use, trimm wheels, brake parts, interior, gauges, tank, wing, windows,doors.engine.etc.etc,etc.

Talk to the people who fly old planes and talk about parts.
