Not sure about this one, but the Pima Air And Space museum in Tucson is here. Not sure if its open because of Covid, but very interesting to see! FYI you need to get security clearance before entering first. Its just an application, so dont just go there expecting to take a tour

Visited this museum several years ago with my youngest daughter. Really cool. Enjoyed it. Go it you can. Been by Kingman many times, but never heard/visited the graveyard. |

Been to the Pima Air Museum while I was still drivin big truck. The bone yard has been featured in a couple of hollyweird movies. Seeing all the nose art and the missions flown by some of those proud old War Birds Will bring a lump to some throats and a tear to some eyes. The bone yard IS some if Not most of the reasons the B 52s are still flying-well the spare parts and upgrades. Very INTERESTING  RIDE SAFE. |

I haven't been by there in a long time. But they didn't have any of those old planes. It was all modern stuff being dismantled. For parts I assume. As I remember it, they were mostly 737's and such. |

Many, many years ago there was an organization contracted to destroy and reclaim the aluminum and other elements from those WW II birds. They did so. |

I finished my tour at Davis Monthan in Tucson. The site of the AF graveyard. Worked the flightline for the year I was there - never did see the graveyard. Was still in Tucson for a couple years afterward - never did see it. Or the museum. My loss.
