#2 Something I always wondered, who owns the tooling in this- and similar- cases? This says it´s the AF, but I would think it´s the company, and why on earth would they destroy it, unless the were told to, and what would be the point of that?

#3 who owns the tooling

depends on the contract

why on earth would they destroy it

to be able to charge the govt if they need to rebuild it and to save storage charges if they don't. Stuff like tools don't store well unless maintained. We ain't talking jigs. And that costs money.
