The Boneyard aka 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG)

Friday, February 26th, 2010

The massive catalog of airplanes that have played important parts in war, peace and movies, Top Gun for example, are spread across a huge 2,600 acre site in the arid Arizona Desert.  This is a place of historical and sentimental significance for Aviators and Americans alike.

I definitely have a visit on my buck list, but now thanks to Google Earth you can at least see the pictures for your self.  Here is the link to tour the museum http://www.pimaair.org/
