ClearedHot Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FullOtto Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClearedHot Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 (edited) 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, 2011 by ClearedHot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeHoler Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 (edited) 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.

sentrymechanic Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Surprised they kept this one... If I remember correctly that one is on one of the bus tour roads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
contraildash Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 (edited) 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.

Right Seat Driver Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clayton Bigsby Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) Quite a few airline 707s there. Parts source for the E-3s and E-8s? Edited July 8, 2011 by Clayton Bigsby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crosswind Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Right Seat Driver Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 *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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
