Close up aerial view of part of the B-52 storage area back in May 1993. These old Cold War warriers will soon be chopped up by crane controlled guillotine. Their dismembered parts will be left in the open to be photographed by orbiting Russian reconaissance satellites in order to prove compliance with the SALT II (Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty).
