I wonder if the TH-57's will end up like the T-34Cs (cut up for recycling instead of selling them)?HT-28 posted yesterday that they’ve officially completed the last student gradesheet in the TH-57.
End of an era

I believe most if not all the TH-57 airframes will live on either via GSA sales, FMS, federal agency support, etc. KY State Police received 2 C models. Private individuals are scooping up and operating under Restricted/Experimental status. I would be surprised if any are "cut up". Even the data plates are valuable.
A lot of the Army 67s did same.
You can find pictures of them still sporting the trainer paint job rigged with ag spray kits and the like.
