Behind The Yoke

A buddy of mine sent me a few photos of the AMARC, the Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration more commonly know as “The Bone Yard”, located in Tuscon, AZ. The United States Air Force base was originally established to provide a storage location for old and retired aircraft no longer used by the armed forces following WWII. It is now “an active industrial complex that primarily promotes the regeneration of aerospace assets.” In other words, most of the aircraft there are able to be restored to capable flying condition if the need ever arises. It’s quite impressive how exact and accurate they park the aircraft. Like my friend said, it hard to comprehend how many aircraft are stored here until you see some pictures.
