I went there as a tourist lol. There’s a LOT of cool stuff around that area and the bone yard is one of them
Interesting.
When I was in the Air Force in the middle 80's, I put down Davis Monthan AFB as one of the bases I wanted to be stationed at. They sent me to Loring in Maine, instead. I am still bitter.
Aircrafts? Wtf? The plural of aircraft is aircraft.
I was stationed at DM from 02-07. Then came back in '15 – '20. I started out loaded and maintaining the weapons systems on the A-10 in the 357th Squadron "The Dragons". We had a barrel shortage one time on our A-10's and went to the boneyard to remove some from A-10's that were being retired. Also, pulled tons and tons of GCU's (gun control unit) for our aircraft out of ones in the boneyard. Its a cool place, on the backside of the boneyard where it backs up to the road leading to the shooting range. Is where alot of the older and completely mothballed aircraft and aircraft parts.
Simon, is there a navy version of the air Boneyard for , subs, ships, boats? Would love to see that!
How do you know what i think?
I'm from Nottingham and moved here to Tucson 2 years ago.. If people really want to see a glimpse of American Military power, just drive around this Air Base and you will realise that USA is really not to be messed with.
jeez, i knew they recycled or reactivated aircraft, i didn't realize they had a hand in major operations like the berlin airlift or major resupply missions like that
Bet Surf Shark can't protect against Government snooping !
Kinda overdramatized on the narrative there dude…
1) It's only over 100-degrees during a few summer months.
2) It's hard dirt, not a ground "baked into a near cement like state…" A mere heal scratch will demonstrate the fallacy of this naive statement.
3) It's basic hydration; when you get hot and perspire, you should drink water. Pretty sure this applies across 99% of the planet…
Also, a quick google maps search will quickly show that the facility is located within the city limits, not a 20-minute drive away.
Zk
that beard is just….majestic.
Your socialist masters are very proud of you, Comrade Simon. Although, I'm pretty sure they knew all about this place already. So there must be some hidden code somewhere in the video. Or maybe it's in one of the other videos you've uploaded on the same day, and this is just a distraction for our code breakers.
Never seen a bloke with a green beard before.
Makes you think 😮
The way the Brits dispose of military aircraft seems rather haphazard by comparison.
I should definitely color my beard…
The accelerating rate of pointless and unrelated stock photo additions is really starting to be annoying and distracting. Will be watching to see if this is a new and deal-breaking trend.
I love visiting there!! So much to do and see for such a small city. Just great!!
Its, too-sawn. Not "tuk-son" lol love it though 😂 and i have and will FOR ALWAYS love you, Mr. Bald Sexy Simon. 😉😉😉🤣🤣
It's the biggest Pick n' Pull the world has ever seen!
Back in the late 90s, my squadron had 5, yes 5 birds that were cannibalized beyond belief. They had no wing, no engines, most of the interior was missing, etc. Our CO decided we were going to work 12 on n 12 off until they flew. They managed to get a team together to get all of the parts from the boneyard. It took a few months with nearly no days off, but we got them all airworty
An English Language expert writes: The plural of AIRCRAFT is, and has always been; AIRCRAFT (without the 'S') and not AIRCRAFTS. It's a bit like sheep.
Aircrafts is not a word. The plural of aircraft is aircraft. Same applies with watercraft and spacecraft.
Our military is so incredibly inflated and unnecessary. If only there were other things we could be spending just a sliver of the 800 billion dollar budget on.
101°f?.. shoot, it was 113°f today! 😂
It truly is mind-blowing seeing Trillions of dollars SEEMINGLY wasting away in the scorching desert. (Unless you know and understand) the full operations of the land. 🤎🤍💙
There is no specically plural form of the word aircraft. Well, in the mind melt since 2020, I have noticed that a lot of people who ought to know better think there is.
The bone yard was able to keep the Australian Airforce F111's flying until they were retired.
An evaluation of 34 billion dollars is a laughable figure compared to the actual figures! 😂
Actually, Tucson is very beautiful place. Just don’t go in summer, although the dry heat is better than the American south at 90°F The boneyard and surrounding museums of old aircraft are a lot of fun to go and see. When I was in school with the University of Arizona, my body is and I saw an Apollo capsule laying in a junkyard!
We have a boneyard here in Alaska. More Mammoth bones in one place than you can imagine, they all went there to die. Unfortunately gold is the reason why you don't hear about it. Lol
13:33 "No matter how hot it gets in the interior of the aircraft it never exceeds 15 deg ambient temperature." ?
Over two thirds of Western Australia is dry with little humidity and has hard baked ground perfect for storing aircraft and vehicles. Maybe we can pivot into military storage away from our mining based economy 🤣
Second biggest usa aircraft boneyard after Afghanistan
I live in Tucson and we we all know about the boneyard and its function thank you for for telling the rest of the world
Was I the only one scoping out the chandelier every time the vid cut back to Simon?
I worked at AMARC, (called MASDC then) in the early 1980's before transferring to another agency. The F-15 was replacing the F-4 Phantom, and F-4,s along with A-4 Skyhawks, and A-7 Corsairs were flowing into AMARC on a daiy basis. There are a few F-4,s left there today, the rst are long gone. It makes me feel old,lol.
Great video Simon! We offer helicopter photography flights over AMARG and the civilian boneyard at Pinal Airpark for those interested 🚁📸
Been to the "Bone Yard" 3 times now. Every visit being utterly fantastic. Not only can you do tours of the Yard. Their is also the amazing Pima Air & Space Museum on-site as well.
Just there last week. Pima baby
The plural of aircraft is aircraft not aircrafts.
I had the opportunity to deliver f35 tires to the afb in tucson in a semi. Very cool trip had to drive through all the boneyards and i was nerding the hell out
