A fascinating view into the US Air Force boneyards
You can zoom in this 48-megapixel image of the USAF boneyard in Tucson, Arizona—stitched from Bing Maps satellite images—and try to identify all those airplanes. Or you can watch this USAF documentary on how the US stockpiles thousands of planes in deserts around the country to keep the active fleet flying.* (sploid.gizmodo.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I'd be willing to take a C-5, 130 or 141 off their hands, to turn into my house !!
That would be awesome.
In this image, the main road one third down and to the left, one can see what appears to be a loose collection of older planes. I took a bus tour through this place in 2013 and the guide talked about the management establishing a "museum row" of the last of the types that have been processed. A very interesting place. The tour is run by the Pima County Museum, which is across the street. The Pima Museum and the boneyard are worth a day.
Just a day? I am imagining spending at least two, walking a marathon probably. ;)
Would be incredible if there was a mashup with labels for each type of plane!
That is excellent, I'll visit PIMA.
Anybody notice that as you get closer, a whole bunch of planes disappear? I wonder which is the newer picture?
