This was an email fwd'd to me by my Dad. Imagine if we'd spent half that money on education.
This is the consolidated bone yard at Davis Monthan Air force Base near Tucson, Arizona. Think of the history and the Military Industrial Complex profits stored there.
For those of you that have never seen this, it is something to see.
The precision in the way they are parked is impressive.? It is 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 being returned to flying condition if the need ever arises.
If you are ever in the Tucson area, the weekly tours of the bone yard are still given through the Tucson Air Museum, located just south of Davis Monthan AFB. Both the museum and the boneyard are very popular attractions in the Arizona desert.
1- The 3rd largest Air Force in the world is sitting on the ground here.
2- It's the only unit in the U.S. Air Force that actually makes a profit.
