Vintage military airplanes are being sold for as little as $25 in Wyoming, though buyers cannot fly them. The planes are county assets in various states of disrepair, with the auction aiming to recoup storage fees and legal costs after a lengthy dispute with the former owner. These Cold War-era aircraft, including C-119 Flying Boxcars and Lockheed P-2 Neptunes, are being sold for parts or scrap, with the auction closing October 3.
