Orange and white have historically been test squadron colors. The QF-16 is painted with an orange tail not because of reverence to the Tuskegee Airmen (the Alabama ANG 178th Fighter Wing and AETC 99th Flying Training Squadron do that with red tails) but because orange and white are easy to spot in contrast to the blue sky. Orange also indicates that there is test equipment on board the aircraft.

Our understanding was that those F-16 airplanes already had red tails before being turned into QF-16 drones: www.187fw.ang.af.mil/About/#:~:text=The%20wing's%20100th%20Fighter%20Squadron,pay%20tribute%20to%20that%20heritage. But maybe we got that bit wrong!

@@NotWhatYouThink I'll try to sort this out. You are correct about the history of the markings of the Red Tails. The 100th FS currently has between 3-4 of their aircraft with all-red tails. Last I checked, F-16Cs 87-0332, 87-0336, & F-16D 87-0379 had all-red tails. Other F-16s were 87-0217 & 88-0151 had an all red tail during their 2009 combat deployment to Iraq. The drone aircraft are painted in International Orange (FS 12197).

@@NotWhatYouThink Maybe the Alabama ANG divested from some of their old Vipers. I know when I was a Vermont ANG troop we had the red tails show up every now and again. Maybe a couple of the 158th's old Vipers ended up in their hands after we went from the F-16 to the F-35. Regardless, good video.

@@yaboidspdadon5838 Yeah, I think I remember that. Wasn’t the problem that the plane couldn’t uncloak so they couldn’t find the wreckage? The only parts recovered were by those guys who went drinking at a strip club, got so $hit face drunk they thought they hit a brick wall. Turned out they’d run into the still invisible parts of the plane! The kindly strippers took them in, cleaned them up and their wallets out then, brought them back to base. It took multiple teams almost a year to recover what they did! They had to feel around the strip club and girls to ensure no sensitive items were left insecure. As I recall the club closed after after the strippers married the airmen and eventually PCS’d. At least that’s how I remember it. It’s not what you think!

I was stationed at March AFB near Riverside, CA in '68. We flew a KC-135, tanker into Davis Monthan for the day. I went along as a technician, if needed. Once we landed, I got off the aircraft and got hit in the face by the heat and it felt like standing in front of an open furnace. Although it was a dry heat which made it tolerable, it was still very oppressive. Considering that my home base outside Riverside was in the desert, the heat in this place was a new experience.

AMARC is connected to Davis-Monthan AFB - an active duty Air Force base. When aircraft land, and are taxiing into the boneyard, we know it's most likely their last operational flight, before likely getting gutted, used for scrap, target practice, or destroyed. Any Airmen on base near the flightline seeing an aircraft taxiing on the rarely used AMARC taxiway, often show respect to the aircraft and its service by rendering a salute to it. These proud machines protected and defended America for decades. Millions of dollars were spent to design, build, and upgrade them...until it was no longer cost advantageous. A salute was all we could do to show some thanks.

8:04 absolutely it does. I was stationed at NAWC Point Mugu in the 90's all unmanned target drones are painted international orange to denote that they are an unmanned drone.

Painting specifically the target drones to "tribute" the Tuskegee airmen didn't sound quite right 😂

Tuskegee Airmen?!! No. It’s to ensure the target drone is properly identified so a friendly fire incident doesn’t happen. These aircraft are almost always used for missile testing and development from bases like Pt. Mugu NAS where I saw dozens of these aircraft used that had orange markings. Back when I was there in 1997-99 they used F4 Phantoms with the same orange markings.

Glad these planes are some recycled. Some parts never wear out so reuse is pragmatic. Must be quite the chore to document all the parts... the computer is essential. Good job guys!

He pronounces Tucson "TU-sun" We always called it "Two-sawn!" I lived there for a very short time as a kid, Daddy (an M.D.) did a short stint of work in a hospital there. But all I remember about it is one time we were driving somewhere on a long narrow road, and Daddy pulled over and stopped the car. There was a huge tarantula in the road. He got a stick and urged it over to the side of the road after we all got out to look at it, it was beautiful! I was only about 3 or 4 and all I remember of being in Tucson, was that spider!

You have made a truly excellent video about the Boneyard. I like reading about airplanes and have watched several videos on AMARG, but they are superficial compared to this one. Squirting oil in the fuel lines?? Well Done!!!
