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

Ooooh, lots of spare Hercs...

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..

All those P-3's.

I was looking at some interesting derelicts myself, earlier today.

I don't care about anything else. A certain european country could do with the Hercs though...

The Americans probably have more aircraft there than the RAF have in the whole force!

That's an understatement if ever I saw one. http://www.swaviator.com/html/issued00j01/boneyard.html
"Davis-Monthan is the permanent or temporary resting place for over 5,000 surplus or inactive aircraft spread over 2600 acres."

.....you can find it on Google Maps, if you know where to look, and count for yourself.........

........the satellite view is good enough to ID most types there.........

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

What I wouldn't do to spend a few days inside that place!!
