What is the airplane boneyard in Arizona? #Tuscon #AircraftBoneyard
The Tucson airplane graveyard is a must-visit site for anyone who loves aircraft.
The Aircraft Boneyard outside of Tucson is a legendary roadside destination: over 4,000 aircraft baking in the sun, stretched across four square miles of Arizona desert.
The Sonoran Desert of Arizona provides the perfect location, where the arid climate prevents rust.
The aircraft are lined up in rows set up with military precision, stacked so closely together that from above their wings look like they are holding hands with each other, a sharp contrast to their former roles. It’s a starkly beautiful setting as, throughout the day, the silver fuselages reflect changing colors of the Rincon Mountains to the east.
The public can only view the Boneyard through the windows of a tour bus that leaves the museum twice a day, Monday through Friday. The tour lasts 90 minutes, narrated by a museum guide. The bus does not stop and its passengers do not get out until they return to the museum. Tour-goers need to make their reservations at least ten business days in advance, and must bring along all of their supporting IDs and documents, or they don't get on the bus.
The Boneyard is, "one of the most amazing aerospace spectacles in the world."
