Davis–Monthan Air Force Base, AZ - 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group – “Boneyard”

Continuing at the Davis–Monthan Air Force Base and the 309th AMARG we turned into the Boneyard. Here the planes are never expected to fly again. But, as planes are damaged and/or retired their parts may still be useful to other planes that are still in service.

This means that a lot of the planes here are missing parts and are sealed up in interesting ways.

The planes also need additional support as many are missing landing gear. They therefore end up building a lot of custom wooden supports to keep the planes supported as parts are stripped.

This is a giant military aircraft recycling facility.

There are some humorous bits left behind as well, like on the tale of this plane where there is both a face and a bottle left behind.
