MemphisBelle Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) Some stories are just stories but other stories belong to the Aircrafts on the boneyard, this is a small cut off. It´s very impressive Edited June 24, 2017 by MemphisBelle BlackSharkDen | BSD Discord | DCS Tutorial Collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvsgas Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 MemphisBelle, to embed youtube videos, just need the code after the = in your case L1s-1nHdIgs To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

Kippy Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Awesome videos guys, thanks for the share. Though... it is very heartbreaking to see these beautiful machines waste away in the desert.. B-1s especially. I hear their fleet is having some serious issues keeping jets airborne and is having to cannibalize other aircraft. I wonder how much I'd have to pay the Air Force to let me run through that place with a crowbar and take home some souvenirs.. I'd sure like to have some instruments like an altimeter or something on my desk :) 163rd vFS Website, Discord Soaring With the Snakes, Fangs Out!

ST0RM Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I was just at DM last week. Saw the jet I turned in to AMARG, a few years ago. The first operational KC-135R 61-0312. Just last year, it was spray-latted and standing proud. It's now up on wooden pallets, stripped of many parts for the rest of the fleet. I also saw all of the ex-RAF Harrier GR.9s. They were sitting with wings removed and fuselages wrapped up. I dont know how many actually helped the USMC Harrier fleet though. Truly an amazing place, with history trapped behind walls.

Igor4U Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) During the Reagan Administration - the Goal for the USAF was to build to a 40 Tactical Wing Equivalent. But Events overtook that Plan: - Large increases in Budget Deficits & National Debt - Fall of Berlin Wall - Breakup of the Soviet Union - And the anticipated realization of a 'Peace Dividend' by drastically down-sizing America's Military Force Structure So under Presidents HW Bush and Bill Clinton - America's Combat Force Structure was reduced 40% (saving $1Trillion over the decade of the 1990s based on the Trajectory that the Reagan Defense Budgets were on). Manpower and Hardware simply went away. :( So now the DM Bone-Yard has Squadron after Squadron (literally as far as the eye can see) of once proud Aircraft. In fact - if re-constituted - the Bone-Yard might be in the Top 10 of largest Air Force in the World (my Guesstimate).

VZ_342 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 For me the sad part is slowly seeing old friends--fleets of F-4's, A-4's, B-52's etc be there one day, then a year later nothing but a big empty field with "shadows" on the ground. (As seen on Google Earth) I saw the entire fleet of EF-111A's and the other 111's simply fade away. Don't know which fate was better--ours were scrapped and presumably melted, while the Aussie 111's were stripped and buried in unmarked mass graves.

DoomEngine Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I always have the hope that the birds here are "hibernating", and will have a future purpose. They proved themselves in their role, and may yet be needed again. It is inspiring and depressing to watch these vids...thank you.

Emmy Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 At least AMARG turns a profit... It brings in about $2.50 for every $1 it takes to operate.
