I was reading a thread in NewsHawks about the pending retirement of the T37 trainer.
"After 50 years" - http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?t=20383
The article mentioned: Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., the home of the Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group, or AMARG.
This is the place (out in the desert) where retired U.S. military aircraft are stored pending disposal or removal of parts.
So just for fun I had a look at it using Google Maps ...... GEEZUZ THIS PLACE IS HUGE!!! :jawdrop: :jawdrop: :jawdrop:
There are planes of all types parked everywhere. Just when I thought I'd seen them all; another area came into view. Detail / resolution is pretty good. I imagine Google Earth would give a better view.
Just click "Maps" on the Google start page (at the upper left) http://www.google.ca/
Then paste this line in the "search box": Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz, hit search & zoom in till ya see the planes.
Sorry but I can't seem to upload any pics. This place is definitely worth a look!
