Is there a back story to this?
*curious*

Not really. It's just where the base sticks the planes that have run out of flying hours. They get stripped of useful parts then ultimately get broken up for scrap. Some maxed out aircraft go to museums or used for ground based training though, so are spared the reciprocating saw.
