Air Force “Boneyard”

This is an excerpt from the Airplaneboneyards.com website. Davis-Monthan AFB’s role in the storage of military aircraft began after World War II, and continues today. 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.

The Pima Air Museum is the exclusive operator of all 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG, also known as the “Boneyard) tours. The tour is $20.00. All arrangements for the boneyard tour must be made through the Pima Air Museum (not NARCON).
