Western Couplings at Mojave Airport has thrown away an entire dumpster
full of stainless flex lines and couplings of every size and shape
imaginable. They're in a big blue dumpster next to the UPS building.

It's too far away for me to scrounge, but I thought I'd let people know.

Hmm, 140 miles, Scaled Composites would probably beat me to 'em.

Scaled and X-Cor have already picked over the pile, there's still a
couple of thousand pounds left.

A couple of thousand pounds? Holy cow. Why are they being tossed?

Not sure. I HOPE it's old stuff that they were tired of keeping on the
shelf, but it's a pretty big pile for that. I HOPE it's not a going
out of business thing (and I have no indication that it is)
