On the flip side, D-M was also the site of the destruction of a lot of our nuclear-capable heavy bombers as a result of treaties with the old Soviet Union. Most of the aircraft they destroyed had their wings sheared off by massive guillotine-like blades.Thanks for the explanation. I just pulled up Google Earth and poked around D-M and ran across a number of aircraft where the wings had been separated from their fuselages. That must be what had happened to them. But since the planes are now destroyed, I wonder why they haven't been sent to the Alcoa man and turned into soda cans or something ... they're still there.

This is an image of those aircraft -- is that what happened here?
