THE BONEYARD IN TUCSON, ARIZONA
Many of you have, at one time or another seen the
"bone yard" at Davis
Monthan, outside of Tucson. "Billions of dollars" rotting
in the desert.
A few years ago, we saw our stable of b-52's sliced up in agreement with
a pact with Russia to reduce armament quantities, while they reduced
hostility to the USA
No matter how many times you see the photos below,
they are still
stunning
Remember - Each one of these babies had a
multimillion 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.
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!
