The corrosion on the inside of the fuselage is incredible.

560E... in fact, from what I can find using a quick check, the very last 560E.

I believe the 560E was basically a normally aspirated 680E? Same for the 560F, which replaced it?

Corrosion has killed more airplanes then any other factor. This one is long past a point of no return.

I always thought there should be an SPCA ( Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Airplanes).

It should be able step in a say “ I am sorry you are no longer able to properly care for your airplane, so we are going to place it in a good home “

It was deregistered in 2012. So it's been sitting there a while.

The corrosion is sort of interesting, since you would think where it has been sitting for years would be pretty good. But maybe it spent much of it's life elsewhere.

Did the 560E/F have the high pressure hydraulic system? Maybe Glenn needs to buy this for the hydraulic pumps?
