Your Online Marketplace for Classified Jet Parts

jonerik writes: "Reuters is reporting that the U.S. Air Force is less than pleased about the recent posting of a number of sensitive jet communications components on eBay, including parts for the SR-71 spy plane, the F-16 fighter, the KC-10 tanker, and the giant C-5 transport. According to the article, the parts had sat in a warehouse for 12 years after being lost in shipping when the dealer, Norb Novocin, bought the lot for $244 in an unclaimed property sale. Novocin ended up selling four of the items to bidders in a recent auction, including an X-Band Weather Radar Modulator for $500 and a high-frequency radio circuit card for $32. The Air Force is looking into the incident and Novocin is cooperating."

as truly american as ebay? its like the worlds largest garage sale. deep under the piles of shit stacked as high as landfills are some rare finds. plus if the gvmnt didnt want them sold they should have kept hold of them in the first place, instead of losing them like the abomb in sum of all fears.
