The Boneyard: World's Largest Plane Cemetery
The World's Largest Airplane Graveyard in High Resolution, Is Now On Google Maps
Dubbed The Boneyard, this sprawling US airbase called 309 AMARG is the world's largest military aircraft cemetery. Spread across 2,600 acres in the Arizona desert, it contains a collection of over 4,000 retired aircraft including nearly every plane the US armed forces have flown since World War II.
Chosen for its arid climate that slows degradation of the planes, the base is home to a huge variety of retired birds. Many are nuclear-capable, retired as a result of arms reduction treaties throughout the years. Lots of B-52s, B-1s and F-111s that once carried nuclear arms.
Then there are the relatively recent internments: plenty of F-14 Tomcats, which were retired for good in 2006. Other current planes spotted include F-15s, F-16s, C-130s, KC-135 refueling tankers, and A-10s.
