It is without a doubt that the United States of America, in this current day and age, has the largest, most advanced and most powerful military on the planet. But given that the US is constantly developing new aircraft to full specific roles, making older aircraft obsolete, what happens to these old planes? Once a particular type of plane is no longer needed as a newer and more advanced model has come to take its place, where do the old ones go? Across the country, there are locations known as airplane graveyards where these aircraft go to be either scrapped, sold, maintained or just kept dormant. However, the most famous and the largest of these complexes is the Airplane Graveyard at the Davis-Monthan Base in Tucson, Arizona, which is commonly known as the Boneyard. At this location, there are thousands of planes stationed here, with many of them at their final resting place. The Tucson Boneyard is also a massive tourist attraction and even a pop culture icon, featuring in several popular movies such as Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and Can’t Buy Me Love, both of which were filmed on location. But how did the Tucson Boneyard become so crucial to American aircraft disposal and what types of planes have been stored here in the past or there currently?

War is obsolete.
What a waste of money that could actually have done some good in the world 😢
Due to changes in U.S. Air Force security considerations, the bus tours of the 309th AMARG (AKA “The Boneyard”) have permanently ended.
Taxpayers retirement plan . REALLY YOU PAID FOR EVERY POUND OF METAL.
Maybe ship a bunch of F-4s to Ukraine.
Well you can start fixing those bomber since Russia pulled out of the treaty.

It is disrespectful to call it a graveyard. I'm a veteran that had full access. While I was stationed at DM the name was changed from MASDC to AMARC.
This is total clickbait. Nothing in The Boneyard is abandoned. Check some real sources and figure out why they are there.
aircraft don't rust, aircraft corrosion
Out of date, parts.
If abandoned can I have one for free ?
Airplanes are made out of aluminum and dont rust, it does however prevent corrosion
They cannot let go of their wicked history atrocities.
ผมถึงบอกคุณมันเป็นการหลอกลวงแน่นอนเครื่องบินรบ mirage 2000 ก็ยังถือเป็นรุ่นก้าวหน้า
Back in the 70s my cousin and I went to the movies in Tucson. Coming home we got lost near the airbase and I tell you it's creepy out there at night
When Skynet becomes self-aware it'll use these planes to attack American cities.
they should gave a boxca plane to my fiends band The Box Car Winos To get around
