A death without dignity. I got this satellite photo of the Davis-Monthan bone yard off Google Earth. It saddens me to see these valiant birds end up like this. Note the one with the forward cockpit chopped off (center front). I think that this is RF8 145608. The cockpit of this airplane was sent to the Pacific Coast Air Museum in California. The satellite photo seems to bear this out. The rest are, I assume, the remaining photo birds in the park. I think all of the fighters have been long destroyed by now.
