2015-02-23 Pima Air & Space Museum & Boneyard

Today we spent a few hours at the Pima Air & Space Museum & 309th AMARG Boneyard at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base - Vaughan's idea of "awesome".  There are numerous hangars full of restored planes of all military eras.  We then walked the lot with 100's of planes - most too large for a hangar.  We also took a bus tour of the "Boneyard" - where old military planes go to die. They are stripped of anything reusable and later all metals will be recycled. At one time there were about 6000 planes here - they are down to about 4000 now.

 This "Bumble Bee" was  the cutest and smallest of them all.
