When did that happen - I haven’t been to that area in at least a decade. Loved to watch the U2 take off many years ago.
They began taking it apart some time last year. It is now just the skeleton rusting away. The Google guys HQ is close by and they have offered money to put a new skin on it, but nothing is being done yet.
It took the greenies about 10 years to convince everybody that it just HAD to be done. They tried to get the Navy to pay for a new skin, but I think they just paid for demolition. The plan was to rip off the skin and then...who knows? We’ll just see what happens. So now it stands, completely denuded.
