Boneyard

Perhaps this is off topic, but I believe is worth to watch.
At least we know where our tax dollars are, and most of all,making us certain that this money will fly again on a short notice.
I HOPE THE PICTURES SHOW UP, IF NOT, I APOLOGIZE TO YOU ALL.
The Bone Yard.
PICTURES TOO LARGE, UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD. SORRY

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 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.

I have put a few Helo's there . It is definitely impressive . They make the profit from putting parts back in the inventory . Some of them are used on numereous A/C types that are still in the inventory .
