Has anyone ever visited Skycraft Parts & Surplus in Orlando?

http://www.skycraftsurplus.com/


When I lived in Orlando I would go there all the time. FREAKIN AWESOME store.

The owners go to all of the defense contractor and government auctions and buy as much crap...uhh....err... I mean "surplus" parts as possible and then turn around and sell them.

There are a LOT of defense contractors and tech companies in Orlando:

NASA
Lockheed Martin
Northrop
Boeing
Raytheon
GE
Westinghouse
General Dynamics
Harris
Siemens
Veritas/Segate
USAF facilities
Naval/Army sim training facilities
HP
Electronic Arts
and of course the Naval Training Center (now defunct)


Needless to say these guys have a lot of places to draw surplus from.

Wish I was 2500 miles closer! I would on my way over there right now! Would look Bitchin' to have some of that stuff sitting in the living room! (as if there isn't enough already!)
