The United States Marine Corps is facing a dilemma. There are not enough combat ready fighter jets for their pilots around the world. Boeing's answer to this problem is the C+ Program. The program will take 30 retired F/A-18C Hornets and upgrade them to the most state-of-the-art platform, creating the F/A-18C+. (boeing.com, 2016, emphasis added)

Three years after that Boeing article, only three upgrades were completed. Given the slow pace, that's enough time for isolated airframes to be spotted as they're readied for transport and upgrades. The initial volume of 30 was reduced to 25 then 19, enough for one squadron (seapowermagazine.org, 2019). The photo above ticks all the boxes: the missing and covered nose radome, covered canopy, and missing wings.
