How to scrap my 1973 C337G

Hi all....

I am considering options on how to retire my Skymaster that I have been operating since 2002. I'm leaning towards simply retiring it from service. My question is, how do I do this responsibly? I do not want to park it in the weeds as I would prefer to deliver it to a salvage yard as there are many serviceable parts that could be used. Can anyone recommend a salvage yard that would accept my airplane? I operate from the Chicago area and the closer to Chicago, the better. I would simply fly the airplane to the salvage company, assuming they had a suitable runway for me to land on.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

I am sorry to hear that you are considering the retirement of you plane. I would suggest you contact BAS Parts Sales in Greely, CO. I have gotten many parts from them to keep my P337H flying. They just purchased White Industries in Bates City, MO. There is a long gravel runway on their facility, about 4,500 feet. I have actually flown in there many moons ago. Best of luck.
