[simpits-tech] Az Boneyards (was More real aircraft parts)

[Chris Brace]

Justin,
 ARMAC are doing tours still. I have over there in Aug/Sep last year and
drove down from SanFran to AZ just to do that tour. It was very cool.
They  just started accepting deliveries of B1B's when I went thru. 
It sure is awful to see all those planes get the cut and all those
parts/sections etc. If only........
I expecially like watching the A-10's come and go in pairs. They had an
A-10 re-wing programme running on base when I went thru the place.
I recommend anyone who gets the change go thru it, its a couple of hours
well worth the effort.
Of course i spent the rest of the entire day at Pima Air&Space. In all
the great place to get up close.
 
Cheers
Chris.

Man,
 I would  be there all the time!!! Of course I used to live an hour from
there for 6 months and only made it once, but made it back several time
after I had moved to Arkansas again. Last I knew there is a night once a
week or once a month where you can bid on stuff AMARC is selling. The
building is located right by the entrance where the museum tour but used
to enter AMARC, I'm not sure if the tours have started again after 9-11
stopped them. If they still do it it is worth the money! What a sight to
see so many fighters parked in long rows. That includes rows of oldA-10s
F-14s, F-15s, 16s, and 18s and a ton of F-4s, although the G and the
late model Es are rapidly getting shot down as drones. There are a lot
of C-130s and B-52s too.
 
If you want to by stuff from the salvage companies K-tech and Haveco
seem to be the biggest.
 
DM is also great for watching fighters flying in the pattern, ecpecially
if you like the A-10.
 
North of town is the Evergreen operation with a large amount of old
Airliners including 747s, but I never managed to get in the gate. :)
