The Boneyard
 

For those of you that have never seen this,


it is something to see.

The precision in the way they are parked is impressive.


It is difficult to comprehend the size of the "Boneyard"


and the number of aircraft stored there.


Of course the important thing to remember is


that they are all capable of being returned to flying


condition if the need ever arises.


If you are ever in the Tucson area, the weekly tours of the


boneyard are still given through the Tucson Air Museum,


located just south of Davis Monthan AFB.


Both the museum and the boneyard are very popular attractions


in the Arizona desert.
It is difficult to comprehend the number of military aircraft in dead
storage until you see these photographs!


Even if you have seen this before, look again.


The 3rd largest Air Force in the world is sitting on the ground here.
It's the only unit in the U.S. Air Force that actually makes a profit.

What an impressive sight! I knew that this existed, but not as big as it looks! Wow.

not all of them are ready to return to flight status, but many are.

You can actually see this thing on Google Earth. Find tucscon, scroll east, and you're there. Sharp enough to ID the individual aircraft types.

shakran, cool I'll check it out! Thanks

It's huge the pictures don't come close to showing the true size.

Check it out!

If really needed we could have one hell of an air force, not that we don't probably have more firepower than many large nations combined!
