The Bone Yard near Davis, Monthan Air Force Base-Tucson, Arizona USA
Remember - Each one of these babies had a multi-million dollar price tag!
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's difficult to comprehend the
size of the 'Bone yard' and
the number of aircraft stored there.
is that they are all capable of being returned
to service if the need ever arises.
"Those who beat their swords into
plowshares will plow for those
who did not." (Thomas Jefferson)
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.
