I lived in Tucson for 9 years. I loved passing the boneyard, I thought it was the coolest thing ever
love driving down Kolb and u just see row after row after row of aircraft.
Holden Strickland I couldn't imagine living there. Too damn hot.
Holden Strickland Hello I live in Phoenix can we visit this "boneyard"?
www.pimaair.org/tour-boneyard
Xavier Mondragon Jr It is definitely worth driving down there
I've been before, if you're ever in Pima county I highly recommend visiting here and the museum
I've seen it personally. So awesome to see those things up close.
If you get a chance to visit, the Pima Air and Space Museum that provides the tours of the boneyard is also one of the best military aviation museums in the world. Definitely not a "do not touch" museum. Very fun, even if ur not a big aviation buff!
Pretty amazing to see used pieces of our Air Force and history.
I wonder if you can buy some of the parts, I've always like the metal USAF insignia on the planes.
Gilly ThaFish Davis Monathan Air Force Base still uses some of these planes for spare parts. Most of them still work, they are stored and sealed up here
This is an awesome place to drive by and see. I was stunned in the video where they claimed there are only 4,400 aircraft in the boneyard. If you drive by you would swear there are 40,000.
Tucson Arizona is literally the place to be
confused pickle or sum dawg I mean I hate this meth crater, but there are some upsides I guess
If you're in the area of the Pima Air and Space museum check out the Titan Missile Silo as well! It's an amazing experience, the missile and control room are in tact and it's not too far of a drive from the Air and Space museum. They've renovated the control room so the actual panels light up to show what it would look like during an actual launch and tour attendees can volunteer to turn the key
Modern Warfare 2 remastered is looking good.
Kivist lol, best comment 😂
Instead of leaving a C130 to rot just give it to me, ill certainly take it
Sincu there shouldnt be any problem, its a cargo plane, not a gunship. Besides, the FBI must know my background.
It's always really cool to drive past the boneyard it's like the planes never end they just keep going.
we allowed to buy a 55 year old jet? because that'd be nice. could you imagine the pickup lines? like "yeah why don't I take you back to my place? I got a b-55 we can cruise in"
I would love to have one of those B-17
I think they should melt these down and make body armor.
I meant bullet proof vest.
Why wouldn't they just recycle the material
BOBM567 they do, they use parts from here to repair others
Tachanka Chanka ahh, thanks for letting me know
And some planes here are just stored, worked on, and returned to service, but the majority will be used for parts and then scrapped
I would love to be part of a tour to see this sacred place. How can i?
Such a waste of taxpayer money...
Look at all that money...
Aykut waste of money
Look at all that money....go down the drain
I think I think I saw this yard in a commercial.... no Im sure I did
faze adapt has been here before
Special Oso Read my mind
NOOO!!!
My friends, family.
The GraveYard??? From UnWind???
wow all those sitting there is a .shame.. just make different thing's out drone's or parts or fix them up.?great job on video. too.
Instead of scrapping it, just sell it to other countries.
funny does look like my bed..
We just found the Transformers headquarters
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.
