EDITORS COMMENTS
The Boneyard at Davis-Monthan Air Base is a hauntingly beautiful sight, captured in this vintage print from circa 1985. Rows upon rows of retired aircraft sit silently under the Arizona sun, their once mighty wings now grounded for eternity.
Each plane tells a story of its own - the missions it flew, the places it traveled, and the pilots who manned its controls. Some are still recognizable by their model and make, while others have succumbed to rust and decay over time.
Despite their faded paint and weathered exteriors, these planes exude a sense of dignity and resilience. They served their country faithfully during times of war and peace, now resting peacefully in retirement at this vast aircraft graveyard.
The Boneyard is not just a final resting place for old planes; it's also a testament to human ingenuity and innovation in aviation. The sheer number of aircraft housed here is staggering, serving as a reminder of our constant quest for progress in flight technology.
As we gaze upon this image from The Peter Butt Aviation Collection, we can't help but feel a sense of awe at the magnitude of history preserved within these metal skeletons. The Boneyard stands as a tribute to all those who have dedicated their lives to the world of aviation.
