"Davis-Monthan Air Base: Where Historic Aircraft Find Their Rest" Nestled in the heart of Tucson, Arizona lies Davis-Monthan Air Base, a place where aviation history comes alive. This sprawling base is home to an impressive collection of retired aircraft that have served their country with honor and distinction. From the iconic Boeing NKC-135A 55-3134 to the Lockheed UP-3A Orion 150527 Tasmanian Devil, each plane has its own unique story to tell. As you wander through the Boneyard at Davis-Monthan Air Base, you'll come across legendary aircraft like the Lockheed P-2H Neptune 147963 and Republic F-105D Thunderchief 60-5385. These mighty machines once soared through the skies, defending our nation's freedom with unwavering bravery. Amongst this vast graveyard of planes, you'll also find remnants of McDonnell F-4J Phantom II 158356 and LTV A-7E Corsair II - reminders of past battles fought and victories won. The Grumman OV-1D Mohawk YA053 stands as a testament to reconnaissance missions carried out by these remarkable aircraft. But it's not just fighter jets that rest here; even transport planes like the Lockheed C-130 Hercules have found their final resting place at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. These workhorses played a crucial role in delivering troops and supplies during times of conflict. The Cessna O-2A Super Skymaster duo (68-11050 & 67–21403) adds a touch of versatility to this captivating display. Once used for observation missions during Vietnam War era, they now stand silently side by side as witnesses to history. Every plane tells a tale at Davis-Monthan Air Base – stories etched into their weathered exteriors and whispered through time.
