The aircraft arrived at the AFFT Museum in 1983, and over the years the condition of the aircraft had deteriorated. Returning it to museum standards was not cost-effective. The Vietnam-era combat aircraft's dismantling will provide parts for other B-52Ds at six other aviation museums throughout the country. (U.S. Air Force photo by Joseph Pol Gocong)
