The 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group ( AMARG ) , also hump as the Boneyard , is a four substantial mile land site in Arizona housing 4,000 retired aircraft — or at least one of almost every US armed forces plane since WWII .
Google Earth has lately released this gorgeous ( in a maudlin sort of path ) , 1.5 MB satellite view of the facility . you may see the entire stroke over onthe BBC , and if you ’re rag by their tiny physique , just justly snap the magnified version to “ view image ” to see the entire thing . you’re able to also just check it outthrough Google .
For those of you thinking the Boneyard is a rotting pile of our tax buck , well , it sort of is . But the fundament claims that for every $ 1 endow here , $ 11 are returned through salvage parts ( and it ’s well-off than dropping off a rusting B52 at the local recycling facility ) . [ BBC ]
UPDATE : evidently , Bing has it at evenhigher settlement .
