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 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! 

 

The 3rd largest Air Force in the world 

is sitting on the ground here.
