They are there, my old company does a lot of work there and the expats that are based there have seen the wreaks and airframes littering the country.
One of the factory owners went on one of the old U.S airbases there and saw the Skyraiders and numerious other types, a lot of Hueys.
So to answer your question, yeap they are still there, but don't ask if it is possible to get them out, I remember an Aussi team had some out of there but it has been quite for a long while now.
