How The World's Largest Airplane Boneyard Stores 3,100 Aircraft | Big Business 

they would never let kids in here, it's too precious, even in video

The tour is actually pretty cool

@@caminstol2473 Yeah $35 billion precious

Hahaahahaha..."where's Jimmy", "hes stuck in the engine cowling of the c5"

It's all fun and games till you get lost

Not nearly as awesome as Paradise Ranch, but there are some JANET 732's in the Boneyard.

The plural for the word 'aircraft' is 'aircraft'. There is no such word as 'aircrafts'.

For an aircraft loving person**

iRespect, 🇺🇸

i just want to do that, would not be punishment at all hanging out at night way out there ,

And they paid him to do that. I do it free for a couple weeks. I've got a few old aircraft friends that I used to fly on I'd like to revisit

Sounds like an okay punishment for me since I like quietness and calmness

His punishment seems like a dream to me

Yeah I want to do that

Yh sure u were

@@gmanpvp3329 it makes sense. Crew chiefs often see commanders a lot because of the nature of their job it’s easy to screw up. Missing tools, damaging the aircraft, etc.

@@lostinYourReality im on bout this miguel guy hes not known her

Col. Barnard refer's to to the Aircraft as assets which she is correct but i recon that she is an important asset as well.

No you didn't

It's cheap compaired to scrapping them and building new ones when they need them.

Well, Ryanair's model is pretty much not to do that most of the time. They operate an all 737 fleet to simplify maintenance and training and they have them in the air for as much as possible, where they make money. It might not be flashy but it's a damn successful model most of the time. Flag carriers and other airlines that operate a larger range of aircraft including long-range ones also try to maximise the time the aircraft are actually in the air. Freight carriers often operate older aircraft like the DC-10/MD-11 and A300 profitably because they spend more time on the ground because they have to link up to the logistics network. While the older aircraft might be too fuel inefficient and lacking in comfort for passenger service, cargo operators can pick them up for cheaper than the alternatives and the fuel inefficiency doesn't matter as much when they spend less time in the air. Generally, airlines don't want to do any sort of bone-yarding like this because that aircraft isn't making them any money. Better to sell or lease it to another airline if it can't be used. But, due to the massive collapse in demand for air travel due to the pandemic, airlines have been forced to do this over the past year. Take a look at photos from Alice Springs. Cathay and Singapore Airlines among others have been plonking even massive aircraft like A380s there to wait it out.

Yea, most of the ppl could fly with quater of price when i look at these huge waste of everything

@@uydudanbak Is your usual choice of carrier the USAF? Do they throw you in the back of a C-130 or perhaps strap you into the weapons bay of an F-35?

She called it the 'Boneyard'. They used to get deeply offended when you call it that. I guess they've given up fighting it.

Joe Biden doesn't even know where this is. If he did, he'd give them to Russia to rebuild and get 10 million dollars.

Imagine if Lockheed came down on the U.S. Millitary for repairing their aircraft.

I was thinking the same thing. Today's/ future aircraft, each part is probably serialised and can only be used with that particular plane, like the iphone

@@scootergrant8683 This is already a problem in the military, read www.nytimes.com/2019/11/20/opinion/military-right-to-repair.html .

@@icalledit4335 oof. 😬

@@icalledit4335 It is so dumb. I'm sorry suppliers but you are.

Lots of civilian stock is currently on the ground at Pinal Airpark, on the north end of Tucson.. They are covered with what appears to be a self stick metal foil on windows and other openings. Everything from dozens of American Eagle airlines commuter jets, to wide body large planes that are up on cribbing and being picked to pieces. Really a cool place. If you are in the area, it's well worth a stop, and don't miss the Flight Line Lounge, one of the funkiest bars you will ever see.

Can confirm, too many grounded planes in Tucson when I was out.

yep, my dad was one of many, many mechanics that started working civilian airframe mechanic during covid, people from all over the world started contracts at the Pinal Airpark, it was a rough place to be for a while.

Not a pandemic. A lockdown. Never done before to healthy people. Did nothing but make things worse.

I have been to Clark AB on a TDY. I didn't know that stuff about B-52s, that's awesome. I currently work here at AMARG. The TDY happened in 2008? I was with the 63rd AMU from Luke AFB, we met up with a Marine unit with Harriers. From my understanding, it was the first since the volcano blew. I might be wrong on that.....

These aircrafts are bone yard of US army. With the help of these aircrafts USA lost Korea War, Vietnam War, Somalia War, War IN Iraq and now War IN Afghanistan.

@@kamranmisri2366 The Korean War ended in a ceasefire with eventually the south gaining more land and the North losing land and more troops. During the Vietnamese war the Americans achieved its objectives of halting Chinese influence and preventing the domino effect. The US military was also limited by engagement rules. They weren’t allowed to send troops into the North yet still managed to win nearly every battle. The Paris agreement was signed and both the North and South agreed to end the war so the USA and its allies left. The North BROKE that treaty and invaded the south. The US didn’t come back to help because 90% of the public was against the war since the start and the guy who said he’ll help wasn’t in office anymore. The Gulf war 1991 was because Saddam invaded an American ally Kuwaiti and the Saudi’s asked for protection due to fears of invasion by Iraq. Kuwaiti asked for American help on live TV. The US got involved and ended up winning the war by 1993. The war in Afghanistan was because of the war on terror of the 9/11 attacks. The US went into Afghanistan because the Taliban run country was harbouring Osama and allowing radicals to operate on its soil. The US easily defeated the Taliban in 2001. It was until 2008 Al Qaudia was eliminated and until 2012 Osama was killed. They succeeded and achieved those goals. The next 20 years were also spent rebuilding Afghanistan and preparing them to fight the war ALONE. Trillions were spent, gave them an airforce and army. Take the 300% GDP increase as an example. The US in 2019 ended the war with the Taliban through a treaty and now Afghanistan was responsible to fight on its own. America can’t be fighting Afghanistan’s war for them. They withdrew thinking Afghanistan was ready but were wrong. The ANA collapsed and the government fled the country. Keep in mind that for 20 years the Taliban couldn’t do shit. The Taliban lost every single offensive and defensive against coalition forces. It was NATOs nation building objective that failed not its military efforts. Iraq war 2003 while the war was wrong and shouldn’t have happened. The US won the war and took the Capitol extremely quickly. Saddam was also killed by the US. You’re ignorant and shouldn’t be talking on stuff you have no idea about. The US won the Gulf war and the Iraqi war indefinitely. The US military efforts in Vietnam were successful but its political efforts failed. The US military succeeded in Afghanistan but the US failed to rebuild Afghanistan. It’s astounding how people like you are so comfortable to spew bullshit and misinformation. Please I’m begging you to never come back to these topics without doing some research.

The war in Somalia was a UN mission to help fight famine. It was never a war or an invasion. Please I’m begging you just stop.

I work about a mile from the boneyard, sometimes I drive by it on lunch just because it’s so cool.

Damn

In building demo controled demolition is only used in 2% of the cases because of its high probability to go wrong, it's extreme difficult to get a building down in even 1.5X it's footprint, so difficult it's only 2% of demolitions, but could we not just get these to flying condition, they don't need to be safe, just fit remotes and we good. Buy NY math we can get 3 buildings for every two planes. That's, Millions of dollars saved. Environmental cost lowered. Free Entertainment for the public. Plus you could just Say terrorists did it for an extended resource gathering consent in the middle east, when the sad Kuwaiti girl story starts running thin. Your welcome.

I drive by them everyday to get to work it’s pretty cool looking

Fix up the old f-15 and f-16s that are no longer in service and give them to Ukraine once the war is "over". Those older model planes will still be enough to deter Russia from trying anything again.

Lies again? Changi Airport

The saddest story is the fate of the F-14. Retired before it's time because of politics.

@@alexmartinez5859 oh gotcha. I used to deliver jet fuel to Battle Creek where there were A-10s. Had no idea they were in Ft Wayne. That's cool.

Tucson has an Air and Space museum and it's very similar to this.

Unless you have military ID or a family member with one you probably won't be able to get on base, but you can actually see a good portion of the planes from the road.

Actually you leave on the tour of the boneyard from the museum ... good duo visit day.

Look up Pima Air & Space Museum. You need to make reservations ahead of time to take a bus tour of the boneyard that leaves from their site. I don't know if the tours are still in operation during Covid restrictions. The museum is completely separate from the boneyard and it's very much worth a visit itself. It takes hours just to walk by every aircraft there. If you want to spend time on each one it could take . . . well, forever. Cool gift shop, too.

Ahh the boneyard, I fly here everyday!

I know. Im a current KC-10 Crew Chief at Travis

@@kidtexas2: Travis was nothing but C-5Bs back during the 90s. Then changed from MAC to AMC and the massive base closures changed the composition of many USAF bases, Davis Monthan is actually much smaller mow than it was back in tu early 2000s. Congress has threatened to close many times before.

@@kidtexas2 are they still doing the dedicated crew chief program? I was assigned to 84-0188 most of my time.

@@n721sw 4188 is a McGuire tail now. i have no idea if they are at McGuire but at Travis?? Yes. They are bringing back nose art so we should see some new designs in retrospect to the older ones. Not sure when but hope before full retirement of the KC-10. Only Travis jets are in Al Dhafra at the moment. McGuire pulled theirs a little while back. Im a ACC on 79-1948 at Travis

@@kidtexas2 Ha! Good ole Al Dhafra! I was there in 93, long hours with no days off but we stayed in hotels and ate great, the biggest shrimp that I have ever seen! It’s great to hear that they are bringing the nose art back, it will be neat to see if they use any of the original art. The AF was awesome in the early 90’s, but things started changing and I got out. Still some of my best times in life, TDY all over the world. Hickam 8 times!

They have their own museum. The actual boneyard is on base and you can't go on there

The boneyard you can see from I-10 isn't this location. This place is located over off of Valencia Rd. There is another plane bone yard for commercial airliners in Mojave (between Boron and Tehachapi) off CA-58 where CA-14 comes in.

@@foltzenlogel Yes. I had deliveries for Amazon on Kolb Rd. in Tucson.

No way, who would've thought the US military is experienced?!
