In high school I earned the Spaatz Award in Civil Air Patrol, the grade of Expert Ranger, and served as Cadet Commander at a Civil Air Patrol National Activity. That is why my name here includes the "Captain" reference. The Hawk Mountain Search and Rescue school is about 10 minutes down the road from the junkyard. I literally went to this junkyard twice a month because that is how often I was at those activities.
I've personally seen at least 300 different Eagles and Spirits here. Just about all of them were in better shape than any of mine. They used to have two dozen new Eagles come and go about every three months. Now you're lucky to find 3 or 4 of them there. It's not the same as it used to be.
I still laugh when people comment about how rare AMC engines and transmissions are today. For $200 they will torch them out together and put them in the back of your truck. A decade ago there used to be three dozen full size Jeeps in that yard at a time, and there was still a dozen AMC 360's and TF72s in there last time I went there. You can't count the number of XJ's. No CJs, YJs, or TJs are there because those fetch too much at auction and get stripped too quickly to stay there. They had three International Scouts.
