A contractor destroys a U.S. Air Force F-15B Eagle aircraft, assigned to the 48th Maintenance Group for demilitarization at RAF Lakenheath, England, July 28, 2025. Demilitarization renders an aircraft unusable by crushing and shredding it, bypassing the traditional route of sending it to the 'boneyard'—a long-term storage facility where retired military aircraft are typically preserved for parts or potential future use.
