Bone Yard
For those of you that have never seen this, it is something to see. The precision in the way they position 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 bein g returned to service if the need ever arises. |
 |
If you are ever in the Tucson area, the weekly tours of the bone yard are available 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. It's the only unit in the U.S. Air Force that actually makes money.

when someone forwarded these pics to me I thought it was fake…..having seeing it on google earch I believe it is true…
Howdy
That's one awesome place. Nice airplanes.
Seems like an awfull lot of expensive aircraft just
going to waste i.e. oxidising etc under the desert sun.
Why don't they just sell some or all of em off ?
No demand ?
This place is very real! Some aircraft are here for storage ans some for parts and scrapping. Not many will ever see service again. My uncle drove me by here to look at the B-17 & B-29's that were being scrapped back in the early 1960's. There were hundreds of WW2 aircraft destined to be cut up back then.
sell them? to whom? north korea? libya? cuba? are u serious
can anyone purchase one of these aircraft ? also do you think having a fighter jet in your front yard would be a good deturent for crime ?
hey i think that the plane bone yard is really large and well fitted for all the planes that are placed there for storage and parts. thats alot of planes
I would like to buy a 747 200 or a B27/29.How do I go about this.Would like to hear from someone Thank you
What a wonderful place this is I would give my left arm to go there.These beautiful aircraft just sitting there waiting for some TLC.I would love to work there.

This is not even 25% of all the planes that sit there.
I live in Ireland but would fly the atlantic and across d states to see this place with so much beautiful aircraft lying there.
i wish our airforce could have a large dumpsite of aircraft like that because our aircrafts are trash
