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.
