Touring Davis-Monthan Air Force Boneyard in Tucson, Arizona
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2016
- It has evolved into "the largest aircraft boneyard in the world".
With the area's low humidity in the 10%-20% range, meager rainfall of 11" annually, hard alkaline soil, and high altitude of 2,550 feet allowing the aircraft to be naturally preserved for cannibalization or possible reuse, Davis-Monthan is the logical choice for a major storage facility.
AMARG uses the following official "Type" categories for aircraft in storage:
Type 1000 - aircraft at AMARG for long-term storage, to be maintained until recalled to active service. These aircraft are "inviolate" - have a high potential to return to flying status and no parts may be removed from them. These aircraft are “represerved” every four years.
Type 2000 - aircraft available for parts reclamation, as “aircraft storage bins” for parts, to keep other aircraft flying.
Type 3000 - "flying hold" aircraft kept in near flyable condition in short-term, temporary storage; waiting for transfer to another unit, sale to another country, or reclassification to the other three types.
Type 4000 - aircraft in excess of DoD needs - these have been gutted and every useable part has been reclaimed. They will be sold, broken down into scrap, smelted into ingots, and recycled.
Look at all the Little Rock E-Model C-130's... We took my old girl there in the mid 90's and then went TDY from The Rock to DM a few years later. Took the boneyard tour and came across my old bird 63-7793 and it still had my name on the side. The tour driver allowed me to get out and have a picture taken with her. She was a good old bird that took me all over the world...
Dude!!! Follow the tour!!!
Would like to have seen the planes she described on the right.
Nice to hear about all the aircrafts you don't see :-) In any case, pls. book me on the next tour.
Cheers Adam
Sadly, the camera operator didn't follow her tour descriptions.
EXACTLY!!! Camera dude should learn more about planes before going.
Thanks for sharing your video. We just uploaded a video of our son leaving to Davis Monthan for his duty station and we miss him already.
Brilliant video and I think you have picked up the guide narrative very well.
I always spend my time on the tour taking photos so this guide is very useful.
Thumbs up and thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Get female that's narrating talking about the aircraft to speak a little slowly why she's in a hurry I rather listen to a man talk anyway what a waste of aluminum butt the next War we got coming up all those aircraft going to be ready to go because we going to need them for the next War believe it or not thank you so much bring me a lot of memories I flew in a lot of those aircraft I remember old shaky c-54 the aircraft I thought you would never make it it vibrates so much like it's going to come apart thank you very much
If i was there, I would jump off the bus, get a navy F18 G suit and do my own tour
and you would probably get shot
great video thank you
Very welcome
Advice: Shoot the video then follow with description dubbed in to go along with what the camera is looking at.
It would be nice if narration matched video
how hard would it be to turn to the right video description should read Touring Davis-Monthan Air Force Boneyard in Tucson, Arizona from left window only
Hi from Japanese media. We would like to seek permission to use this video in a Japanese TV show. Is there any way I can contact you? Please let me know what you think. Thanks!
wish they had people with sight to narrate the videos.
Is this a tour the public can take?
I havent seen this place in over 10yrs. When did they add grass?
A few years ago, they scraped all the desert scrub and cacti and dropped field turf in its place. The goal was to lure border crossers to the green area because they might think it was a soccer pitch.
Yelp just what I thought if they would have pointed the camera were she was talking about this would be worth watching .
36:04 a whelen 4004 siren
Lol. Good spot.
Should’ve just played war themed music instead of tour guide
🌠💙💚
I just did this tour today
Did you see everything on the actual tour that we didn't see in this video?
@@csn6234 probably did
Searching my c17.. 😆
You missed every single good plane they had lol
Well no actually I'm a pilot at elmendorf. But thanks for your opinion
I'm more into the old f105, f86, a1, and planes from that era. Which they have at the bone yard
I’m sorry, everyone I see on the internet with an F-22 profile photo and more usually hates anything that isn’t stealthy, but I guess you’re different.
Toi ca doi minh toi chua 1 lan duoc xem nhin thay 1 cai may bay ke ca san bay hanoi ngan nha toi nhat toi cung khong toi do bao gio cung khong he biet san bay to hay be toi la nguoi cu nhat am lich
I'm waiting for next year, he is going to sit on the right.... :-/
what a wast of time
Hey Bimbo how about describing ALL of the aircraft you drive by not just the Air Force aircraft
Idiot
VIET NAM WAR. 😁
A thumbs down presentation. "gatorpics09" needs to take training in filming and narration.
There has got to be a better use of all that metal sitting in the desert besides storing it. Recycle that crap. Use the recycled material to produce products that promote peace.
