boneyard

I went on a little road trip to Arizona a couple of weeks ago. First, we landed to
Tucson, AZ to check out 309th AMARG (Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration
Group) at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base it's known as Boneyard. It's basically an
airplane graveyard. There are all kinds of retired Government aircraft stored there.
I also visited Pima Air & Space Museum which is located next to the base. They have
tons of aircraft, some of them are nicely displayed while some of the displays are
left outside and need better maintenance. Seeing those bad maintained aircrafts is
painful knowing that they performed their duties. Anyways I had so much fun there.

この前アリゾナへちょこっとロードトリップしてきました。まず最初の目的地は念願叶い
ツーサンのDavis-Monthan空軍基地にある309th AMARG (Aerospace Maintenance and
Regeneration Group)とそれに隣接しているpima Air&Space航空博物館♪ 309th AMARGは
通称Boneyardと呼ばれている航空機の墓場で、引退した航空機達が大量に保管されて
います。博物館の方にはたくさんの航空機が展示してあり、屋内展示は良かったんですが
屋外展示の多くは整備されておらず放置状態でなんか悲しげ。。でも零戦にもご挨拶出来、
ミグとかもあったしとにかく飛行機三昧の一日でした♪
