AirSpace Season 10, Episode 2: From Flight to Floor

All the military aircraft and some of the civilian ones in our collections have to be demilitarized before they go on display or into storage. This process, usually called demilling, means taking anything out that might leak, corrode, explode or give away military secrets.

In This Episode:

  • What objects need to be demilled and why
  • How classified parts of objects are removed
  • Why we might get to remil objects later
