When Parking is an Art

[GB1]

The Bone Yard near Davis Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson , Arizona .

For those of you who have never seen this, it is something to see.

The precision in the way they are parked is impressive.
(Of course, the fact that there is more than a couple of bucks sitting here is a bit impressive also!!!)

It's difficult to comprehend the size of the 'Bone yard'

and the number of aircraft stored there.



Of course the important thing to remember is that

they are all capable of being returned to service if the need ever arises.



If you are ever in the Tucson area, 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 U.S. Air Force that actually makes a profit.

Guys, on some browsers the inline graphics don't show (not sure why). Have you tried on a regular computer?

Sorry fellows ... I think they're visible to me because I am logged onto my Yahoo email on the same browser, whereas others of course aren't. (I just tried it on another browser that I never log into Yahoo on - they're not visible).

Anyway, here's the images from the info-joke. Nice shots, whomever shot them... maybe w/ a small UAV we can do the same thing, eh?
