AIRAILIMAGES VIDEO MAGAZINE Number 32 Boneyard overflight, KC-135A F-111A refueling, Fairchild AFB

Take a mesmerizing low-level flight over the huge aircraft boneyard at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, and then strap in with a KC-135A crew for a mission to refuel nine F-111As in 1977. The KC-135 was still an early water-boosted turbojet, and the takeoff roll was more than 10,000 feet! Thanks for coming along, and please give this video a Thumbs Up!

It is so sad seeing those Buffs cut up like that. You are so lucky scoring the 135 ride, I'm jealous. Thanks for the video as always.

[@airailimages]

I have enjoyed good fortune in my aviation pursuits over many years, and I'm grateful for that, and for the many great people I have been able to fly with. Thank you, as always, for watching and commenting.

[@airailimages]

Oui, Davis-Monthan est un endroit très intéressant à visiter. D'autres pays ont-ils leurs propres parcs de stockage comme ça? Merci, comme toujours, d'avoir regardé et commenté.

I dont like seeing aircraft "grave yards" or "bone yards". I see too many C-5's, C 141's, B -52's, F-111's ... F-4's, A-4's all aircraft in service while I was in service. Reminds me too much of my own mortality. Entropy is the the way of the universe so I need to buck up ! Very nice video and very nice narration. Great product .. as usual.

[@airailimages]

Thank you very much! Yes, it sometimes surprises me when I view photos I took -- ahem -- more than a few years ago. Where does the time go?

[@gspotmop8242]

There's a lot of F15s at that boneyard ready to swing back into action in days the moment China starts WW3🙂👍
