When I was there and getting out of the service in 1955 they had a crane fitted with a large guillotine and were cutting up C-46's,C-47's,B-29's,B-50's and all types of fighters for scrap. It was a SAC base then with B-47's ,B-52's and B-36's. How times have changed OH lets see that was 57 years ago. How time flies when you'r having fun.

Drove by there a couple years ago. It's huge. The ex-wife refused to spend the time to see much of it. I just might have to check it out while I'm on my way down to tombstone from Phoenix in January.
In the early 70's when I was a Snow Bird I spent a lot of time near there in the Flying Tiger Lounge. There was at least part of a P40? fighter on the roof IIRC.
Follow up about bone yards.
