News Workers cut the exterior of the former air traffic control tower before demolition at USAF Plant 42 in Palmdale, California, April 29, 2025. Removing excess infrastructure is a critical milestone in reducing waste and improving airfield safety. The tower, originally opened in 1958, was recently replaced by a modern and taller tower that allows safer operations at the production flight test facility.
