July 6, 201114 yr They updated with some high-res pictures...holy crap we have dismantled a great air force. 500 F-16's, 200 F-15's, 20 B-1's, A lot of Old B-52's and F-4's...kind of sad to look at.
July 6, 201114 yr Quite a nice view, great quality pics. I do see a lot of empty lots, would like to visit and see how they determine its finally time to scrap something.
July 6, 201114 yr Author Trying to figure out what this one is. Looks like they have a few more of them over here. Are they D-21 drones? Edited July 6, 201114 yr by ClearedHot
July 6, 201114 yr Yep, that's a D-21. You can see the sign on the ground in front the one in your first link...just like the picture above...probably the same drone. The other two appear to be D-21s as well. Edited July 6, 201114 yr by ThreeHoler
July 6, 201114 yr Surprised they kept this one... If I remember correctly that one is on one of the bus tour roads
July 7, 201114 yr I was went through there back in 05/06 and recently retired F-14s were all over the place. Now there are like one or two. Apparently they have already scrapped the entire fleet at the boneyard. Pretty sad. F-14s Scrapped Edit: add link to the reason. Edited July 7, 201114 yr by contraildash
July 7, 201114 yr One of the -60 guys from Tuscon (he might be on here too?) posted some recent pictures over on Jetcareers. Edited July 7, 201114 yr by jango220
July 7, 201114 yr Quite a few Wurtsmith BUFFs still sitting there. The resolution is amazing though, the MI ANG F-4s I watched growing up by KMTC are still sitting there with their kick ass paint job. As a kid I never thought I would see C-model Vipers in the Boneyard. Sad to see all of those Buff's sliced up. Or the E-model -135s.
July 7, 201114 yr Too bad we can't salvage parts from old aircraft. The man cave needs an ejection seat and a control stick beer tap
July 7, 201114 yr Author Too bad we can't salvage parts from old aircraft. The man cave needs an ejection seat and a control stick beer tap I have a T-38 Pitot Tube hanging over the bar in the Man Cave.
July 8, 201114 yr Quite a few airline 707s there. Parts source for the E-3s and E-8s? Edited July 8, 201114 yr by Clayton Bigsby
July 8, 201114 yr Almost all the Hog wings and landing gear have be repurposed on current aircraft. You can't see it on Googlemaps, but as you drive around the Boneyard (I did last year) you see almost all hogs on wooden platforms because they don't have any landing gear. Boeing is suppose to make new wings to replace the "new" old wings. Hell of an aircraft.
July 8, 201114 yr Quite a few airline 707s there. Parts source for the E-3s and E-8s? That and the E and R model mods for the -135.
July 8, 201114 yr *Edit to add that, on a separate note, it sucks seeing jets (i.e. actual tail numbers) that you've flown sitting out there rotting. Ohh well. It really sucked taxiing an entire squadron of jets through the gate to the glue factory.
