Hangar Flying - HL 287 (2)

Date: 2/12/2018 10:05:03 PM
Subject: Fwd: Fwd: The Bone Yard
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
If you come, take the tour!
The Bone Yard near  Davis Monthan Air Force Base - 
Tucson,
 Arizona  USA


Remember - Each one of these 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.
