Aircraft Boneyard photos

I recently acquired 16 B&W photographs (3.5 x 5") of a military aircraft boneyard. I think this is at Davis-Monthan AFB.
Here are 3 of the photos. If you want to see more, ask.

Davis-Monthan AFB was and still is a treasure trove of aviation history. My cousin was stationed there as a USAF SP. I visited him in 1996 and he was able to take me for a ride through the boneyard. I was an idiot not to bring a camera. Then again, I wasn’t expecting such a treat.  I vividly remember NASA’s Guppy sitting there. I believe Pima has her now. 
 

On another note, I felt sad at the fact that there was a yard just across the street where aircraft were being broken up for parts and scrap. I distinctly remember a C-119 being torn apart.

Good. Pima is one of the places I would so enjoy seeing.  No idea when I'll be able to do that.

 

What was your trip to the museum like?

I never had the chance to visit the museum. I have seen photos from others who have visited and the google earth imagery shows and impressive collection outside.
