Just to give you an idea of WHERE this came from ..

The Boneyard at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona.

Way back in the early '90s, I was stationed there, and volunteered to give tours through the Boneyard. It was a closed area, just because you were stationed there, you couldn't simply walk into it.

They had some really cool stuff there.

I actually witnessed the guillotine chopping a wing off on one of the tours. It was sad. All that money to build them, and they were chopping them up. Not only that, but even historically significant B-52s (NASA related, or otherwise) were being chopped.

I think the tours are run out of the Pima Air Museum now (at least they were in March of 2003, when I last visited).

Wow - I had no idea the Boneyard was so big!

That would be a blast to wander through (I’d bring my own lunch ;’)

A Google Satellite link. Pretty amazing. I’ve driven around it.
