Davis - Monthan Air Force Base
|
|
| The Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Center at Davis-Monthan operates the largest aircraft "junkyard" in the world, a 2,600-acre site with over 4,500 military aircraft. Some are stored as part of a mothball fleet, while some perfectly good aircraft are destroyed to comply with arms reduction treaties. For example In the early 1990's, 350 flyable B-52 bombers were destroyed at the site. Each aircraft was chopped into four pieces with a blade dropped from a crane, and left out for 90 days so their destruction could be confirmed by Russian satellites. Davis-Monthan is also an active base, that is home to fighter units and other Air Force support units. |
