A-10A, serial 77-0226, after heavy reclamation as seen during April 2006. She would survive another ten years before being scrapped.
B-52G, serial 58-0244, looking very much worse for her time in storage. She is cut up to fulfill the U.S. side of the START Treaties.
A portion of B-52G, serial 58-0163, being hauled away. The photo is dated April 2016, nearly 4.5 years before records show the aircraft being scrapped. It's possible this portion of the aircraft found a new home at a museum, but I cannot find any indications that is so.
