[Milsurplus] Re: OT: Aerospace hardware collectors

[Don Davis]

Well, since 100% of aerospace equipment is launched into space and burns up
later, I'd guess that it is a pretty rare bunch of hardware?  Schematics /
manuals / write-ups are virtually unobtainable from the outside of the
users, and any spares are usually destroyed or used in other experiments or
for display pieces.  You might find bits and pieces at surplus (if you know
where to look...), but none of this stuff is marked in any way that would
identify it to the casual observer.  And, folks in the business won't talk
about it.  I'm curious as to exactly what you are looking for?
