The 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (309th AMARG) is a one-of-a-kind specialized facility located on Davis-Monthan AFB. More than 4,400 aircraft from the Air Force, Navy-Marine Corps, Army, Coast Guard, federal agencies and foreign allies reside at the "Boneyard." Some aircraft are just taking a brief respite, others stay for an extended furlough. Many supply parts to keep their brethren flying and will never leave intact, and a few are here for only a few days to be updated.

I just visited Tucson for the first time. Flying home I saw all the planes stacked up and was curious. Had never heard of The Boneyard. Thank you for this video.

@g10s 3 года назад

I was stationed at DMAFB back in the late 80s and early 90s. Had the good fortune to be able to explore the many intriguing aircraft in AMARC/boneyard. It was almost too much fun.

@makiwaga 3 года назад

Nice vid 👌. 2 C-130Hs will be coming home to the Phil Air Force this year. They both come from Davis Monthan 😊.

@tonylittle8634 3 года назад

I grew up literally across the street from where the B-52s were parked in the early 70’s. They were always being moved around.

So many great memories here. My mom was the chief of AMARG/DRMO for many years.

@rustyangel3631 5 лет назад

Spent some good time there for aircraft battle damage repair which entails making a damaged aircraft serviceable to make it back to it's base during wartime operations. Very cool duty and Tuscon is a nice city.

Me Too! I am old and worn out from my Service in Military Aviation. I think of those that built them, maintained and flew them. As well as where they have been. Youth is only for the young.

@mooglemy3813 5 лет назад

Watched this because if the title and is was brief time wise. Good vid and at least some of those planes keep other flying and some get returned to active service. What other country can do this even on a limited basis? None! Like to see a more in depth vid like refurbishing an A10 etc. Anyway well done for a brief peek!

Our C-130H's will probably end up here, once the new C-130J-30 Super turn up. 1 C-130 & 2 P-3K2 will stay in New Zealand. You guys have got our TA/A-4K Skyhawks and Italian built MB-339CK Aermacchi's, still a swore point in NZ

@Herbymac0811 5 лет назад

I think at the very least 1 of every type should be restored and preserved for display and posterity.

@alexmaclean1 5 лет назад

Agreed. Our airforce base here has a museum just outside the base gates that anyone can go to for free. It has about 20 retired aircraft from WW2 up as well as a 5000sqft inside military history display. It's pretty cool and I think more people should get to see this stuff.

@UncertifiedBombexpert 4 года назад

What’s the point of being in the Air Force if it is all in unmanned, I mean almost all of the people who join literally want to fly not sit in a chair and control an aircraft through a computer and if you take away the pilots ability to fly than what’s the point.

@homerfry9234 4 года назад

You realize what SMALL percentage fly? Ever been on a base? 99% of the people you see dont fly.

How much call for Vietnam era planes ?

@Mj-hr7wv 7 лет назад

0:21 those planes looked almost new & in good condition

@michaelsnyder3871 5 лет назад

US service often buy more aircraft than Congress will fund operations for, so the services put new aircraft into cacoons and then exchange them with aircraft as they reach a specific flight hour limit. The B-1B is a typical example.

@dracik5257 5 лет назад

i mean most aircraft dont really age with normal upkeep. those are clearly old as fuck

@Jasonhb07 4 года назад

@@dracik5257 To correct you, aircraft do age regardless of normal or excellent upkeep. US military aircraft have strict airframe hour limits. For example, the B-52's airframe life is maxed at 37,500 hours. Metal and composite fatigue cannot be corrected with routine maintenance.

@keithweedt7236 3 года назад

Does the F 15 75029 have anything left of it?

@scottcrabtree3239 5 лет назад

Do they go for fewer parts taken from many aircraft, or many parts from fewer aircraft?

@alanpartridge2140 5 лет назад

If there is a design flaw in a part I'd imagine it's fewer parts from many aircraft

I would hate to see these fabulous planes as target drones. Just makes me sad.

@unfortunately_fortunate2000 5 лет назад

why? fabulous as they are, a lot of them are becoming quite dated, especially as the f-35 program makes more and more strides, the pilots custom helmet for the f-35 is more advanced than even some the fighters in the bone yard. they're not useless, if they can function as an unmanned drone and be used to save an support the lives of the infantry, all the better!!

@TheDustysix 5 лет назад

At Tyndall AFB Florida the flightline has birds with orange tails. That is Death Row. It has to happen to test the efficacy of our weapons. As a Veteran that had worked in the industry as well, I think of all the people that built, maintained and flew them.

@kinenebosco7060 4 года назад

Didn't know planes are that. charitable ! Imagine denying self the pleasure to fly by donating parts to sickly aircrafts !

@crosbonit 3 года назад

It may have been the tinkling piano that caused you to be sad. You know the type they put in videos to generate sad feelings. I didn't notice it until the end when I started feeling sad when the guy said this is the end. Then I noticed the tinkling piano and snapped out of it.

@scottcrabtree3239 5 лет назад

Only if it is an aircraft that has no top secret/classified anything in it. And, you have to acquire quite a few licenses, as well.

Collin Eberhart No, they don’t sell to the public.

@bubbazametti 5 лет назад

@Perich29 5 лет назад

If I could I would take the C130 and used them for freighter transport and put freight on these planes and fly them from Santa Monica to Hawaii back and forth, just like dedicated truck drivers does for C.R. England, that would be a great opportunity for the pilot to fly these planes hauling freights.

@mooglemy3813 5 лет назад

Watch the vid again and listen to what is said,

@michaelsnyder3871 5 лет назад

This is not a junk yard. Aircraft are stored here when Congress doesn't provide sufficient funds to operate the fleet and then swapped as those in service reach targeted flight hours. Other aircraft are in war reserve, maintained at a point where a simple overhaul can return them to service to replace losses or expand the force. Some are there awaiting Foreign Military Sales or transfer to allied air services.

@mssedmebich1621 5 лет назад

B 52's are still flying but, we're already parting out B1's?

@aibpresto 5 лет назад

They're pretty old now. Prototypes flying in the 70's and they were put in service in the early 80's.

@mooglemy3813 5 лет назад

B52s still have a purpose and role and they are updated with engines and so on. Still a great workhorse and delivery vehicle so you can't necessarily egpquate or reason why based on age, comes down to cost and the role they still play and if they are viable militarily.

@michaelsnyder3871 5 лет назад

The USAF initially bought more B-1Bs than Congress will provide operational funding for so some are put into storage and swapped out when the planes in service reach certain flight hour limits.

@ifuckedyourmomandsis 4 года назад

BONEs are a maintenance headache. Lack of spare parts and the years of abuse have taken a toll on them. They retired alot of the problem children and put them in storage to be parted out. They want to retire them all by 2030 along with the B-2s.
