When I was a kid, my grandfather's house was near an old "boneyard." It was full of ol WW2 and Korean War vintage aircraft. My friends and I used to sneak in and play Star Wars and Buck Rogers in the old planes. My favorite was an old B-29, which had these long tunnels you had to crawl through to get from the front to the back, I could pretend to be Luke Skywalker in the tail gun, while the kid playing Han Solo would sit in front, and we could yell at each other like in the movie. This boneyard was full of rattlesnakes, tarantulas, roadrunners, and brown recluse spiders, but it was more fun than a day at Disneyland.

@ghostdemon7936 10 месяцев назад

The symmetry in which the aircraft are parked from an aerial view is awesome. I love this. I like how the history of each plane is kept as a record. Each plane has a tale to tell and we can all learn from their flights on what went right or wrong for future planes. The fact the retiring aircraft has a ceremony is great to see. If those planes could talk, the tales they could tell! Thanks for uploading the video. 😃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

My Dad was stationed at Davis-Monthan AFB and we lived close by. I used to visit the Air Policeman at the east gate when I was a boy around 1966. Then I served in the Air Force, but at Fairchild AFB in Spokane Washington. The video has one thing wrong, the B-52 A and the B-36 are at the Pima Air Museum on east Valencia Road south of Davis-Monthan

This brings back a memory from my childhood. I was living on NAS fallon as a kid and i remember always passing a decommissioned A4 that was always just sitting there. One day, we went out and saw what they do with it. They sprayed JP? (Whatever fuel it used) all over the ground and lit it on fire so the ground crew could practice crash rescue / firefighting. I was horrified. I wanted that plane so bad lol.

I was a firefighter there back in the 80's. Back then they were spinning up the old F-100's to be target drones. We had to stand by for the pickle engine and green engine runs. There were tons of B-52's out there and the homeless would sneak in to crash in them during the winter. Delta also use to go out there for training. I did see a P-38 and the remains of a B-29 way out in the boneyard. I miss just driving around in there looking at all the old birds. I really miss thous days

@radialbarulhento. 4 месяца назад

As a Brazilian, I say that it seems like a sarcasm from the United States to see all these fighters and all these planes in a cemetery and many of these planes are just stored, many of these planes in the cemetery are far superior to the Brazilian air force planes, in this country you can count on our fingers how many fighters there are here and they will laugh, we have very few air bases, our country is too rich in many aspects but our armed forces are dismantled

@m00m00g1 Год назад

If ("IF") all those planes could talk, every one of them would say "How I wish I could still fly!" Could any of them, especially the older ones, be pulled out of storage, restored, and recertified to fly?

@straybullitt Год назад

With enough money, anything is possible.

@johnosbourn4312 Год назад

Only certain examples are pulled from the Boneyard, such as the two BUFFs, and some naval types are usually pulled from storage, and then they get reconditioned for service, once again, otherwise the aircraft that get placed into storage, never return, because of age, and used up flight hours.

@pancakesgo7995 Год назад

Older fighter jets are regularly pulled out, returned to flying status (albeit remotely controlled) and used as aerial targets for weapons training. I believe most of the F-4 Phantoms met this fate and a good few years ago they switched to destroying the older F-16A's once they ran out of Phantoms.

@ImNotADeeJay 2 месяца назад

Which seems paradoxical to me is: for a plane to be able to make it's final flight to the boneyard, must be legally airworthy, so essentially they are decommissioning airworthy aircrafts.
