The "Boneyard" at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base



I came across a photo of the "Boneyard," as it is called, in a recent issue of National Geographic. I decided to find out a little bit more about it and share that information with you on the blog. Located in Tucson, Arizona, this base provides storage for nearly 4,000 military planes. Apparently all are able to return to service if necessary. The footage in this short clip is fairly amazing when you consider that what you see surrounding the base are all neighborhoods. That gives a sense of scale as you try to grasp the size of the airfields--close to 2,600 acres. Find out more on your own and share it in a post or two.

I wonder how much noise that place makes. I bet you it disturbs the neighbors.
