The
Airplane Graveyard -
Bone Yard - Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Center
That’s quite a mouthful isn’t it? In Tucson we usually
refer to it as “The Boneyard." Davis-Monthan Air Force
Base is the location of an enormous fleet of planes in what is fondly
called
“mothballs." Some of the planes are kept in a semi ready
state “just in case." Others are relegated to the chopping
block. Jacque is in love with the B-52’s and hates the thought
of them being “put down." Some of the planes are being
turned into drones and others are used for target practice.
In all, over 4,000 planes are stored there. Most of them are from
the days of Vietnam.
Additionally, the Pima Air & Space Museum located at 6000 East
Valencia Road, is now offering tours of Davis-Monthan's AMARC Aerospace
Maintenance and Regeneration Center. The tours have proven popular,
so reservations are strongly recommended to guarantee seating. Seven
days notice is preferable when making a reservation.
