Airplane Graveyard
Aerial view of the Tucson, Arizona, area, with a focus on a giant airplane "boneyard" of nearly 4,400 aircraft, the world's largest such aircraft graveyard, on a 2,600-acre site at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. Boneyards are either kept for storage with some maintenance or have their airplanes' parts removed for reuse or resale. Boneyard facilities are generally located in deserts, such as this one in the Southwestern United States, since the dry conditions reduce corrosion, and the hard ground does not need to be paved.
