The “Boneyard”
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Commonly referred to as the “Boneyard,” the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., contains about 5,000 retired military aircraft throughout 2,600 acres. Crews at the Boneyard preserve aircraft for possible future use, pull aircraft parts to supply to the field, and perform depot-level maintenance and aircraft regeneration in support of Air Force operations.

This is the best video on the subject BY FAR.
Don't miss one of the few B-58 "Hustlers" left; America's first long-range supersonic fighter-bomber!! 🤩😍🥰❤️❤️❤️
I used to take my 7 year-old son out to this boneyard and the associated Pima Air Museum. HE LOVED IT!!!! ME TOO!!! One of the coolest places on earth if you're into aviation.🤩😍🥰❤️❤️❤️
Sad to see all those iconic great planes just sitting there .
I used to see it every day from the ammunition storage across the double fence. Back in 1983 when I was with the 355th Tactical Fighter Wing.
good job guys.
Very very informational much greatful 🙏🤲

Glad it was helpful!
I would love to see that. Amazing. When you think how many man hours went into each plane to keep it flying. Then to see them just laying here. Incredible.

That would be cool!
What a cool place i love how they can store something like that and then get them going again very cool
How many F14s are at the Boneyard and will they ever be reused for purposes?
i should have applied for this when i got out of USMC in 2013

I'm pretty sure Ukraine would like to cut back on the friendly fire so it'll probably be a no thanks from them
Hmmm, if you are cut up the hulls . . . why does it matter where you store them? In truth some of the fleet could be reinstated to operation should the demand ever be required.

@@nczioox1116 yes well I am talking option wise, if you have the f22 with f35 and many more advanced aircrafts then you would prefer f35 technology over let’s say a harrier both can vtol but f35 is more advanced

Because you salvage parts before hulls are cut up. Back in the 80’s and 90’s B-52’s we’re chopped by treaty with the USSR.
Wishing I could obtain a small jet engine from there shipped to me
👍💪✌️🦅👏
C'mon, cant I just buy the fuselage of a T38, F4 for my backyard.
Wonder if they still have any Cessna O-2A parts. Would love to get my hands on some original parts to put on mine to assist in the restoration. My O-2 came out of Pima in the early 90’s and was lost for years. Till I found her 3 years ago and started the restoration.
I know it's a boneyard but do you think they could put up a taller fence around the base? Maybe a g pain control with two security personnel with machine guns, would be a nice touch to discourage anyone from copying the older models and making a short leap to reverse engineering the newer model of the same, just asking🤔
SINCE MAJORITY ARE MILITARY AIRCRAFT , THEN MOST LIKELY IT IS TARGETED BY THE CHINESE OR RUSSIAN ICBM IN THEIR CROSSHAIR .
Well Technically speaking the definition of a HUMAN hand IS JUST THAT. GET IT 5 SENSEẞ + few New outs. IT₹ Not bràin surgery You knew.
