Quite a clean up. Aircraft from the former museum in Havana were presumably also here. If you you look at sat pictures dated 22 januari 2013 and 3 april 2013, you can definitely see some scrapping going on.
Answers will be questioned.....

Scrapping also took place on the other 'storage' areas on the base as well.

Furthermore; near the cemetery a large wooded/green area was cleared recently. This should improve the views onto the active runway!
