Ohio transportation officials plan to cut down on their air fleet.

The Department of Transportation wants to sell four decades-old airplanes and two helicopters, more than half its 11 aircraft.

They think the planes and choppers can bring the state $700,000 or more, despite their age and some repair issues. A Cessna 182 was grounded in 2007, while a Piper Navajo hasn't been airborne in nearly two years.
