Surreal military boneyard timelapse footage is quite stunning [Video]
Commonly referred to as the “Boneyard,” the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., contains about 5,000 retired military aircraft throughout 2,600 acres. Crews at the Boneyard preserve aircraft for possible future use, pull aircraft parts to supply to the field, and perform depot-level maintenance and aircraft regeneration in support of Air Force operations.

I live nearby to this. Tours of the boneyard are available through the Pima Air Museum (which I also highly recommend if you're an aviation enthusiast).
The Cessna "tweets" jet trainers at 1:50 just kill me - wish I could resurrect one of those beauties !!
Williams engines and a Garmin panel. That would be a sweet tweet!
It was said that the Cessna T-37 converted jet fuel into noise. I visited DM AFB back in the mid 60's to pick out a Beech T34 for our Navy flying club. There were a lot to choose from!
The most surreal thing about it is how awful the music is....
Great job. Never see those angles from the tour bus in the middle of the day!
Got to visit back in the late '70s; back then they would pile us on a USAF bus and drive around, stopping when we cried loud enough. Driver would tell us to be back in 30 minutes or learn to love rattlesnakes. 40 rolls of film in three hours... amazing experience!
Definitely not the same ride in 2016. Worthwhile going anyway.
