Boneyard

Whistle through the 'boneyard' 

Tucsonans’ cheerful attachment to Davis-Monthan’s Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group, or “the boneyard,” may be rooted in the fact that there simply isn’t another place quite like it.

More than 4,000 aging bombers, fighters, tankers and other military aircraft present an otherworldly tableau just off East Irvington and South Kolb roads.

Preserved in our low humidity, most are not likely to fly again, though many could be put back into service if needed. The Pima Air & Space Museum operates bus tours of the site Monday through Friday.
