They were SNJs. I don't believe that the Navy owned them anymore. I think that Lance or one of the other parts suppliers owned them. They had been sitting outside for a very long time and were considerably corroded. I believe they removed the parts that were salvagable. (ie: probably the birdcage) and scrapped the rest. If they are the airplanes I am thinking about they tried to sell them for a long time with few takers.
