On a vacant lot behind chain link fencing, next to an auto body shop in St. Louis, is a surplus military aircraft boneyard. Everything there, from a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter to a Soviet MiG-17.
The owner says he saved them all from being scrapped, although none appear to be able to fly the friendly skies ever again.
