US's Third Largest Air Force Never Leaves the Ground






My pilot friend Jay sent me these photos of the aircraft Boneyard at Davis Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona. It is, according to him, the US's third-largest Air Force, and the only one that makes a profit, as it is a major tourist attraction. HE also writes that the planes are capable of being restored to service if necessary.
I hope to see this when I am in Arizona in April.

Great shots, they look unreal...(not saying they are, they just look it!)

Yes, almost looks like some sort of modern art. :)

I'd heard of aircraft being mothbaled but that must be an amazing place to visit. Excellent blog you have here. I will be back to investigate further!

Jams, thank you. The feeling is mutual. I like your blog's emphasis on human freedoms and human rights worldwide. I visit it regularly now.
