Those are awesome pictures.

To capture the massive, worthless piss-away of billions upon billions of tax payer dollars in a few succinct shots is fantastic.

Those worthless piss-away billions upon billions kept the Soviets from dominating the world.

I'm kinda surprised that's not restricted airspace.

Wide open, even above the AFB. You need to be talking to approach while you are lower, though.

I recommend that you don't try this over KXTA, BTW.

Why is that funny? You do realize that these aircraft actually flew, right? They didn't go from the the factory to the boneyard.

Crazy. Think of all that scrap material just sitting around.
They probably have to have roving guards just to keep the meth heads out.

I love how that "airport" was named.

I know they flew.

I also know that they didn't do jack shit in terms of anything other than costing US taxpayers a millionkazillionjillion dollars and flying around.

The funny part was the "they kept the Soviets from dominating the world" comment.

I wonder if they'd sell me a B-52 to use as a cabin out in the woods. That'd be the best guy clubhouse ever.

I drive thru the bone yard every day to/from work, it is freaking huge, miles upon miles o' aircraft. I've always wanted to jump the fence and have a closer look, but better judgement and fear of federal prosecution has prevailed so far.....so far hehe.
If you're ever in Tucson, and are into aircraft, you should have a look, and visit the Pima Air and Space Museum while you're at it, you won't be disappointed.

Well if you're bored contact the NACC "Nellis Control' on 119.35 or try Range "BlackJack' on 139.75 if you're trying to skirt the Box (R4808N) near the Lee sector. Or if you're really feeling froggy just fly straight in and see how it goes.
For the DM boneyard, traffic permitting you can get frequently get a low altitude clearance to delay around the Boneyard and helos may be given air taxi permission but I'd recommend contacting the 309th AMARG prior as they own the boneyard.
