I was stationed there from 1983-1992. It's a hell of a sight.

Kinda makes you wonder what people are thinking when they say America doesn't have the ability to fight anymore. 3rd largest air force in the world and it represents our left overs and scraps. Makes you wonder what we can do with everything we kept.

get on google earth and look at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base it's amazing the number of aircraft you can see just sitting there in mothballs

Shifty,

LOL That's right I've seen that F-111 quite a few times driving to and from Texarkana. I'm tempted to stop and give it a look, I was a Crew Chief on F-111's at RAF Upper Heyford from 1980 to 1983, before I was stationed at Davis Monthan.

Have you been in this area traveling? If so, next time give me a shout we'll buy you dinner.
