This is an inside look at where Air Force planes go after they've flown their last mission. Recycling is not a new concept for the Air Force, and getting new life out of old aircraft is the main purpose of the Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG) at Davis–Monthan Air Force Base. Seen from the air, this massive 2,600-acre facility is filled with rows of neatly arranged aircraft, many of which look almost ready for takeoff. But on the ground, it's a different story. With all sorts of planes in various stages of disassemble, many of them several decades old, it's easy to see how this place got the nickname that most people know it as... The Boneyard. • These airplanes are stored in the following ways: • Long Term – Aircraft are kept intact for future use • Parts Reclamation – Aircraft are kept, picked apart and used for spare parts • Flying Hold – Aircraft are kept intact for shorter stays than Long Term • Excess of DoD needs – Aircraft are sold off whole or in parts • AiirSource℠ covers military events and missions from the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard. • / aiirsource • Like share this video to show your support for the troops! • Subscribe to AiirSource for future updates. • Join the conversation on Facebook: • / aiirsource • Follow AiirSource on Twitter: • / aiirsource • Find us on the web: • http://www.AiirSource.com • Video by Tech.
