Absolutley fascinating series of vids on the American aircraft storage facility in Arizona. Lots of interesting facts on most of the aircraft built post WW2 .
In four parts and 40mins long but immensely entertaining.

I'll check this out, thanks. I always liked looking at it from the satellite views and trying to work out what some of the planes were when you zoomed in.

Davis Monthan is a fascinating place .. visited it a couple of times when still "in".

It's in the desert, is quite high up, its bloody dry ... and about 5 miles from the main gate is a bloody great boat yard ... selling all sorts of boats from little dinghies to great big cruisers !!!!!!

Never did work that one out !!!!
