Socorro, NM

A while back, I obtained a list of aicraft that had been transferred to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech) in Socorro.

I travelled there today, hoping to see row upon row of Cold War airplanes, but found out that the
Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center (EMRTC) destroyed every single one of them, on explosive testing procedures.

Just in case, I went to the local airporta, but there were no remains visible anywhere.

So, this is what was destroyed:
