DM is a desirable duty station if you don't mind the impressive dry heat.

Jitter Flicks He will love it there. Lots of hot girls from the University of Arizona, and other than a couple summer months the weather is great. And even in the summer, as long as you avoid mid-day it’s not that bad. I used to live there and would love to move back.

@Caleb M. F B-1s. Stop abusing apostrophes.

@Caleb M. F if I'm not mistaken 3/4 of the B1B are out of service.... I personally feel bad to see them in the bone yard... I had the privilege of machining the horizontal stabilizers on the first 5 planes when I worked at MMC...

Yes

F14? For goose

F14?

I’d buy one

What makes you think you, as a civilian, can just go buy one? It's not about how much money you have. Even if you jump through all the red-tape, the best you could get is a de-militarized, non-functional, non-flying hull.

They are beyond their service hours.

Can people visit the boneyard???

@@ivankauffmann6118 Yes, they have tours through the Pima Air Museum.

WHAT MAN..?? THERE'S RULE'S ABOUT STRESS ON THESE PLANE'S.AFTER A CERTAIN AMOUT OF TIME,TOY CANT GARENTY THE WING WILL STAY ON,OR THE GEAR'S WILL FAIL,THEY BECOME A RISK..EVERYTHING HAS IT'S LIMETS.WHEN PEOPLE GET OLDER,THEY CANT DO CERTAIN THING'S,LIKE PLANES...SO,''COME ON MAN''LOL

@@fiddlesticksbessette398 i know that 😂

@@fiddlesticksbessette398 all caps, why?

Im with you! As much as it costs to build a so called modern bomber or fighter, its got to be cheaper to R&O those B1'S. I fully understand stresses on the aircraft. B-52'S are still flying,you cant tell me the same modernizations cant be done to the B1. Im fearful of the airforce relying to much on stealth!

They have mig-29s so they’re much better then all of those aircraft even the F-15 which is still in combat use, but the F-18s, F-22s and 35s and such are still better. The final point is that mig-29s are better than those planes so stop with this bullshit. (I know this is sarcasm but still cmon)

John Rodriguez army soldier? Are you sure you served?

@@u.h.forum. How many times do I have to state again and again that , Affirmative, I am Prior Service USMC and US Army?!😠😡🇺🇸🔫🔫

Sorry for the mistake it’s just no one says army soldier

@@u.h.forum. the term " Army Soldier" was for emphasis and effect, and Yes, I AM PRIOR SERVICE MARINE CORPS AND ARMY!! JROD Six Tactical, Roger Out!!😠😡🇺🇸🦅🗽🔫

Ok I’m sorry thank you for your service

They do. I have been on one. Tucson also has an old Titan Missile silo that you can visit. I can’t recall the exact number, but there used to be somewhere around 18-20 Titan nuclear missile sites that surrounded the city.

Save the J-79s.

With many of the birds you see going into AMARG, that's precisely what you're looking at. From the standpoint of the USAF, for example, the youngest B-52 was built in 1962. The youngest KC-135 was built in 1965. The C-5M is a modernization of the C-5 Galaxy, which had last rolled off the line in 1989. The last F-15C/D models were built in 1985. The last legacy C-130 in service is the H3, which were built between 92 and 96, although the H models date back to 1964. Those aircraft are still in operational service. With the overall age of the USAF fleet, our aircraft benefit on a daily basis from parts regenerated from AMARG, and will continue to do so after all of those previously mentioned birds are retired to the Boneyard.

They covered that in the video. thanks

@Pat McRotch Goes to show that you have no idea what you're talking about. AMARC actually saves taxpayers tens of millions of dollars every year

Pat it saves the tax payer money as not every aircraft sent is at the end of its flying life ... Many were sent under the terms of the SALT agreement with the USSR with the reduction in numbers of operational B52 bombers being a prime example ... The aircraft in storage proved invaluable as aircraft written off in accidents of that had reached their end of flight life could be replaced by ones from here ... If you'd actually watch and listen to the video you'd realise that they also provide an invaluable source of spare parts that are no longer manufactured anymore ... Just because an aircraft has maybe exceeded its flight life it doesn't mean that every part on it is scrap ....many parts have years of life left in them to keep other aircraft flying

Good old days

Hey m0r0n, if you're going to be a know-it-all and correct people, you should at least get it right yourself. The facility itself is called AMARC, Aircraft Maintenance And Regeneration Center. The people who work there are part of the Aerospace Maintenance And Regeneration Group.

PopeRamin They used to sell quite a few, until they found out that drug runners were using cargo aircraft to fly drugs across the border. Iran also got parts from F-14’s that were retired, which is why they were all eventually destroyed.

DO YOU KNOW THEY FLY THEM TILL THEY FAIL TO START UP,OR THE LANDING GEAR FALLS OFF,OR ETC..BESIDES THEY DONT HAVE LOT'S OF MONEY LIKE WE DO TO FIX THEM.

40 o 50. F 16 nos haria falta

Most expensive plane in the United States Air Force's Arsenal to operate per hour and only has a ready rate of 50% since I have so many inherent flaws plus they are highly inefficient fuel wise. They need a massive upgrade to get rid of the stupid electrical flaws that played them so much the Congress only authorize enough to do 42 of them so there's another damn near hundred of them sitting in the Boneyard.

@@deannelson9565 That's not true. The C-5M has a mission capable rate of 65% not 50 %. Secondly the mission capable rate of a aircraft is not based entirely on the aircraft and its design. It has a lot to do with the Air Forces budget, number of trained personnel to maintain aircraft, and mission tempo. Since the U.S. went back into Iraq in 2003, continued operations in Afghanistan and the fight against isis in Iraq and Syria, our aircraft are being flown much more.

There is a huge use for the C-5

@@jrftworth and how many C-5 M's are sitting in that Boneyard...... that's right zero! Those are all older C5 a and b models that need massive upgrades like I said! Plus the c5 m is 60% in the last reported year of 17 vs 84% for the c17!

Really. Well Andrew at least I'm not a thick cunt that can't spell.@Andrew S

@@fasthracing Who's Andrew?

Ummm don't know now it was months ago.

Why would there be? WWII is ancient, ancient, ancient history in military aircraft terms. DM isn't a "graveyard", AMARC is a supply and recycling center devoted to asset recovery and saves taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars.

@@obfuscated3090 Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

SOME,WE SELL TO PRIVATE PEOPLE,OR OTHER COUNTRY'S..

@@fiddlesticksbessette398 What ?? B-17's B-24's or B-29/B-50's ?????

They were there in the 60s. Lots of P-47s and I think some carrier Aircraft too

That's exactly what they do. If we don't need them and it's not some special tech then other countries can and do buy them.

U smell Pakistani

@@DonutEhg I meen more like European country's

A good number of these aircraft aren't produced anymore, once these birds are done, they are gone.

@Pat McRotch You couldn't be more wrong. Most of those Aircraft have Exceeded their Air Frame usable life.

Pima airfield Tuscon Ariz.,100's of every type of aircraft.

+Shufflebot47-Gaming because their not using them to bomb south America and India and china so the lord doesn't need them.

For spare parts to keep the other B-1s flyable. Since they're supersonic bombers, their air frames get worn out quicker than other bombers.

B-1 is old. It was a very unpopular aircraft until the iraq wars then people where all cool plane and so people may not realize how old they are due to lack of popularity.

The airframe is only rated for so many hours. It can develop cracked and have failure.

The Air Frames have a Life Flight Hours Limit. Depending on the Aircraft the Life Hours varies.

They reactivate birds out of that Fleet all the time.

Johnny lol in fact every Airforce use to do it. It’s not a million dollars question

@@trkayani4949 the RAF sell theirs off straight away. There's no old f4s, harriers, electric lightenings, tornados, jaguars or buccaners waiting for the day they are called into action. Russia does it, but I'm sure they've nothing as capable as the f16, f15, f18 sitting around in mothballs.

@@jmcfintona999 mig29??

@@negan_lq9499 I think most Russian mig 29s have been retired due to their aging airframes after many crashes. They might only have 100 mig 29s left and those haven't been updated since the collapse of the Soviet union. Russia doesn't produce enough aircraft like the mig29 to mothball them. Plenty of mothballed mig21s

@@jmcfintona999 half of them are upgraded to mig29UB which is pretty advanced and capable

@Caleb M. F cheaper than a new one. That's it

@Caleb M. F no man, trust me, for example, try to search the F16 in Chile, where they come from.

@Tom H. yeah,but still, countrys like Chile prefer the used ones, and improver from there, whit the permission of US Gov

@Tom H. Believe me about Chile, in this moment im at Santiago of Chile. If only you could see. And i get all that you wrote

@Tom H. no man you're completely wrong, that's in fact, the problem, the inequality is horrendous, 80% of the country earn less than US$800 at month, the supermarket, the stores generally are more expensive than US for the same products, more expensive than Australia or Canada. The seniors people has the most higher rate of suicide in the country, the "Far Sightedness" of the Dictator/Theft/Killer/Torturer and rapist of Pinochet. Left a legacy of poverty between the oldest ones, after a live of work, when a Senior wants to retire, they earn less than a 1/3 of the salary they used to earn. And only civilian has that kind of retirement, the Military/Navy/Cops/Air force has the same salary... Can you call it fair? Its a shitty country who has a great economy, but between a few.

Training aircrew is a noble end for an airframe. "Only to get shot down" trivializes a very important test and training use for obsolete aircraft! Tomcats were worn out (carrier landings aren't kind to airframes) and too expensive to convert for remote-manned use. The QF-16 program replaced the QF-4 as the F-15 is much easier and less expensive to modify and maintain. There are plenty of F-4s in museums for those wanting to see them. I worked on Bronco, Phantom (69th Dragons, Moody AFB) and F-16 but I don't mourn them because their replacements are superior weapon systems. Combat aircraft exist to kill the enemy and break their stuff.

@@obfuscated3090 Yeah true, but I think we should still keep a lot of them in flying condition. Or give the public a chance to buy them. I'd rather see them flying than in a museum.
