the Bones of 4000 Planes

[W5BRM]

The airplanes are lined up in rows by the hundreds, serving as a striking reminder of the nation’s military past.

They carried presidents and astronauts, shot down enemies during war and shuttled American military forces around the globe.

Now, they are scattered across a huge, dusty field at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base on the outskirts of Tucson, at a location known affectionately as the “boneyard.”

Quite the photo collection. Thought you guys might enjoy it.

Get the radios!

I think the "wolf" and cub are coyotes.

Been there and took the tour.

Never seen so many F-4's all in one place.

Good catch, thanks for the link.

I'd sure like to get my hands on one of those T-34 Mentors—essentially a Beechcraft Bonanza with tandem seating and a bubble canopy.

I love looking at pics of DM airbase...its fascinating and sad at the same time. Lots of planes that can still be used, like those Mentor trainers.

For those in Cali, willing to take a drive to the middle of nowhere, there's another one of these in Victorville, CA.

It's much smaller, but still fascinating.

Been there many times. Used to drive for a company that had a terminal nearby.

Would some of those bigger planes have HF rigs? Hammarlund Super Pros?
