Asbestos Will Likely Shoot Down F-111 Proposal

The vast majority of the world’s remaining, famed F-111 fighters, which hold the distinction of never being shot down by enemy fire, won’t find many permanent homes in military museums. The reason why the fighter-turned-heritage aircraft will be sold as scrap metal? Asbestos. Estimates to “demilitarize” the aircraft – that is, perform asbestos abatement for the high performance plane – run in excess of $1,000,000.

Asbestos abatement is expensive for one simple reason: the damage that asbestos does to victims. When human beings inhale or ingest asbestos, the outcome is never pretty and almost always fatal.
