Crashing planes for fun and profit

Ran across this beauty while watching the 1950's clip on Youtube. That first one looks really painful.

That airplanes were cheap surplus and they were trying to make a living. It happened after every war up to the Korean war anyway. I saw a picture of instrument panels being chopped out of P-38's with an axe, and then the aircraft were bulldozed, what would a cherry P-38 be worth now?
It's been a while ago but I was at Biggs Army airfield in El Paso Tx. and there were a half dozen beautifully restored F-105's on the airfield, new paint jobs, all new fly away gear, tires etc.
Went into Base Ops to see what the deal was with the 105's. Found out they were drones and would be shot down soon :shock: . Talk about a waste.
