Are any of these birds still headed to Gary Indiana to become aluminum foil?

I did a double take a year or so ago when we were driving past on the tollway one day and out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw a bit white plane, with a blue tail containing a yellow circle. I thought "Lufthansa? At Gary? A charter? To GARY?" On the return trip I paid closer attention and indeed it was LH. A little Googling turned up that it was on the way to the scrap heap.

I'm actually a bit surprised that they fly them all the way to the US to become scrap.
