DB's back home from the road and sent this on email. He said, "Post it!"
Heck yeah. We've got to get DB up to speed on posting photos and pasting stuff from stories and stuff. This is the whole story he sent and only two of the many photos. I'll put all of the photos to go with the story on my site at the next update.
In the meantime, I knew of the existence of such a place, but had never researched it. Didn't know it was a tourist attraction at all.
Maybe Joe Fury could add some daylight from the inside...
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. Of course the important thing to remember 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.
