The Navy Facilities Engineering Command's Engineering Center from Port Heuneme, Calif., began demolishing a B-52G Stratofortress Aug. 24-25 that was used to train thousands of aircraft maintenance Airmen in Training over the years.

The 982nd Maintenance Squadron exhausted all channels to attempt to sell the aircraft for scrap metal and turned to the Navy unit to dismantle it.
