Coach Trip around the Boneyard.... fantastic commentary from our guide who was a retired fighter pilot... wish I had got his name... !! • 28 minute video but very interesting. Filmed on Friday 24th Feb 2017 • Note: Some aircraft to get a new life after being inn the boneyard for many years like this B-52H Stratofortress nicknamed Wise Guy in 2020 !! • B-52H Wise Guy Reborn • The 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (309th AMARG),[2] often called The Boneyard, is a United States Air Force aircraft and missile storage and maintenance facility in Tucson, Arizona, located on Davis–Monthan Air Force Base. The 309th AMARG was previously Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Center, and the Military Aircraft Storage and Disposition Center, and its predecessor was established after World War II as the 3040th Aircraft Storage Group. • The 309th AMARG takes care of nearly 4,000 aircraft, which makes it the largest aircraft storage and preservation facility in the world. An Air Force Materiel Command unit, the group is under the command of the Ogden Air Logistics Complex at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. The 309th AMARG was originally meant to store excess Department of Defense and Coast Guard aircraft, but has in recent years been designated the sole repository of out-of-service aircraft from all branches of the US government. The arid climate of the region makes the 309th AMARG an ideal location for storing aircraft, as there is very little humidity in the air that would corrode metal. • #PaulNDonovan #Boneyard
