In the 1990ies I occasionally flew for a guy who owned an aeroplane but knew nothing about flying himself. His business was to buy former Soviet intercontinental missliles (without warheads, electronics and propellant of course) as scrap metal and have them turned into satellite dishes for TV reception. Back then, a satellite dish was still quite expensive, so he could afford his own aeroplane... I always found that a good way to dispose of weapons of mass destruction: Turn them into communication devices.
