Was driving home one say and had a few few minutes to waste.  So I decided to stop by Davis-monthan and take some photos through the fence.







Enjoy  :D

And A-6's, F-14, f-15's, F-4's, F-18's, even a YC-14.  I could go on, cause on the other side they have the B-52's, (its painful to see them all broken up like they are) C-141's, a C-5 or two.  And thats only from memory!  Oh and A-4's a few F-15's.  ok sorry I'll stop..

There are some very good books about this place. I have "Desert Boneyard" by Philip Chinnery (He has written several on the subject). It is full of the pictures I wish I had been able to take
