Air Force Graveyard
The Bone Yard near Davis Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson , Arizona
For those of you that have never seen this, it is something to see.The
precision in the way they are parked is impressive.
(Of course, the fact that there is more than a couple of bucks sitting here is a
bit impressive also!!!)
It's difficult to comprehend the size of the 'Bone yard' and the number of
aircraft stored there.
Of course the important thing to remember is that they are all capable of
being returned to service if the need ever arises.
If you are ever in the Tucson area, the weekly tours of the bone yard are
still given through the Tucson Air Museum , located just south of Davis Monthan
AFB.
Both the museum and the bone yard 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.
