Default Looking for a donation of an old fuselage for anti-terrorism training

Spread the word please:

I was at a meeting at Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey recently and
received a tour of their anti-terrorism and rescue facility. It's
really quite impressive. Amongst a lot of other really neat toys they
have an area with a couple of railroad cars, autos, etc. where the
various agencies (Federal, State and Local) practice anti-terrorism
tactics and rescue procedures under worst-case scenarios. One of the
people there mentioned they would love to get their hands on an
aircraft fuselage or two to expand their capabilities. I thought I
might be able to get them the remainder of the 182 that crashed at my
home airport but I was a week too late.

Please spread the word that they are in need of some clapped out, non-
airworthy fuselages. There is no need for engine, wings, instruments,
etc; just the shell.
They have no funding but are able to provide suitable documentation
that the donating person or company could take the value as a tax
deduction. This could be a god way to get rid of some old rust buckets
taking up space at an airport and not generating any revenue. Of
course, you would be helping the fight against terror and rescue
activities at the same time.

You can put my email address ) out for a contact. I
have nothing to do with Picatinny but would like to help them if I
can.

Please respond to my email as I cannot get into the Google groups as
frequently as I would like.
