[@user-oo9xy5wb1y]

Watching from Midrand South Africa that was a nice tour.

[@9c1official90]

I still remember this from when i was a kid. Nice of you for posting this.

[@VMCAviationVideos]

Thanks for watching the video!

[@danieldaly8607]

I was stationed at Davis a month an AFB from October1972 - April 1975.

[@VMCAviationVideos]

👍

[@CSAGFleetz]

Need to wait 5 hours. Much better than when I saw it yesterday!

[@VMCAviationVideos]

Haha, yes

[@aviation04]

Wow! That is cool to see! please stay safe!

[@BushcraftMo]

Great job thanks for sharing thumbs up my friend 👍👍

[@VMCAviationVideos]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@Thomas1980]

Big Like! 👍👍👍

[@bra8623]

The reason why these jets are in Arizona, is because of the very hot and dry conditions. However it must be a challenge for the Air Force to maintain , when the Monsoon season between June and September roll in. Storms, lighting, and rain all across Arizona. It always blows back west to us in California. The Monsoons don't hit us like Arizona, but we get them also. Nice Vid , thanks for posting...

[@VMCAviationVideos]

You are correct!

[@joe-vz6hx]

nice...have any pics/videos of the base in general? was stationed there way back when and wouldn't mind a nostalgic glance (though I'm sure it's changed a lot)

[@DmitriyTitovDT]

Great video!!!

[@VMCAviationVideos]

Thanks Titov!

[@EdWhisenantAviation]

The anticipation, why do you do this to me 😂

[@VMCAviationVideos]

Haha, it is interesting but also sad to see all these military aircraft sitting idle in the desert.

[@eyetrapper]

Interesting to see

[@neilsquires1821]

Not toured the fighter section or B1’s there’s so much more

[@smalltowntraveller]

Nice coverage....

[@VMCAviationVideos]

Thanks a lot 😊

[@EdWhisenantAviation]

Very sad to see, but I'm glad you showed this footage really well done, unbelievable how many C-130's & even P-3's, B-52's, little flyby at 9:30 & C-5's at 13:00 a shame knowing one day they will be chopped up.

[@VMCAviationVideos]

It is an interesting place, but as you said, sad to see and know most of them will never fly again.

[@jimwalker4984]

Can people drive by and see this or is it too secure?

[@micoasters]

I think one of those is a pb4y 5:08

[@davidkrappenschitz4753]

The Philippine Air Force is about to received 2 units of MC130w reactivated from this boneyard.

[@VMCAviationVideos]

Love to see some of the older smaller planes in there. Love those Tweets, and are those Trojans in there?

[@VMCAviationVideos]

👍

[@johnosbourn4312]

I remember seeing this place, back when I lived on DM, and the one aircraft that stood out to me, was the NB-52E CCV Test Aircraft. Now, in this video, I noticed a single P-2 Neptune, and one EB-57 Canberra, and I thought that all of the P-2s, and B-57s had been scrapped.

[@VMCAviationVideos]

👍

[@335iGuy]

Not sure if you will see this but I just looked on flight radar and there is in fact still a b57 there parked right next to a sole f14

[@helicoptersandmore5519]

Whoa how did you get such good video?

[@helicoptersandmore5519]

Those shots at 2:59 there only 1 B-52 there now.

[@VMCAviationVideos]

👍

[@VMCAviationVideos]

Just lucky😁

[@helicoptersandmore5519]

@@VMCAviationVideos Yeah do you use a video camera?

[@nybotor1]

Awesome and sad at the same time. It's a shame really, since the Canadian airlines like Buffalo Air, Canadian North, First Air etc... could really use those Hercs for the harsh northern conditions, but the stupid Canadian law that doesn't allow military planes to be converted for civilian use prevents that.
Edit: and they could certainly use parts from those old P-3's for their Electra's!

[@VMCAviationVideos]

I agree, it would be nice if our northern air carriers could operate the military hercs.

[@hygenicoption608]

I wanna plane to live in

[@VMCAviationVideos]

Me too
