If  you are ever in the Tucson area, the weekly tours of the  bone yard are still given through the Tucson Air Museum, located just south  of Davis Monthan   AFB.

Both  the museum and the bone yard are very popular  attractions in the Arizona desert. It is difficult  to  comprehend the number of military  aircraft in dead storage until   you see these photographs!

Even  if you have seen this before, look  again..
The  3rd largest  Air Force in the world is sitting on the ground  here. It's  the  only unit in the
