Anyone check out the show on the history channel Sunday night called Boneyard? It was pretty interesting, started out with the US Navy Ghost Fleet and how it is maintained and eventually dismantelled, showed a glimps of the Midway and how she missed being scrapped.
than went into how some of the scrap metal from the world trade towers got melted down to be used in the USS New York, than spen about a hour in the AZ dessert talking about how they maintain the aircraft there, rob them for parts and eventually scrap them out, showed a F4 in Midway markings
Looks like it will be shown again this Saturday, make sure you set the time zone drop down to your zone , so you get the correct time to watch it or record it

Where do machines go when they die? From B-52 Bombers to massive aircraft carriers, from passenger cars to Cold War cruise missiles and remnants of the Twin Towers, all that we manufacture has a lifespan. But reaching the end of their original purposes can be just the beginning. Join us on a fascinating visual journey as we follow some of our greatest achievements in manufacturing, design engineering, and construction to their after-lives and final resting places. TVPG cc
