1. DDz Quorum Pooka Posted December 7, 2007 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Today while flying a DF map, the subject of Google Earth came up. An interesting place to see from above is the Bone Yard of old US war planes. It can be found at Montham AFB in Tucson, AZ Coordinates are... 32degrees09minutes37secondsNorth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logos Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 ~S~ Pooka I used to live in Tucson and often drove by the "bone yard". Of course I could only get a glimpse of what was around the edges of the fenced in air craft but, it still was quite a sight for any fan of vintage air craft. Also kind of sad to see those once great birds baking away in the desert sun. There are some good books that reference many of the air craft in that bone yard. I don't recall it off hand but, I know they have them on Amazon's sight. I used to go down by Davis Monthan and if I ever saw any of the A10 Thunderbolts/Warthogs flying I would find a place to park and just watch some of the awesome maneuvers that plane could pull off. Truly an engineering marvel and damn scary with that 30 MM cannon launching depleted uranium shells at a tank. No offense Rattler but, I would rather be in the A10 than any land vehicle that nasty killing machine was hunting. I will try your google search when I have a spare moment. Right now I am very busy practicing in my top secret Luftwaffe Red Killing Machine. Muuhaahaahaa ! Logos Red Forces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enforcer57 Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 I took alot of screenhots of that place. Amazing what you see there, especially if you find the historical row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
