The Bone Yard

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.
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.
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.

Although when you think about it, some of the designs of those planes were so ahead of their time that they would still be useful today.

Its amazing how much money we spend on defense

but on the upside its given us the interstate, internet, gps.....
