Every time I see a post of ac in the boneyard it make me wonder why we don't preserve our own "retired" aircraft. As it is all our Jags, Harriers and more recently F3 and GR4 Tornados taken out of service either get reduced for spares or sold for scrap. No hope for maintaining a reserve fleet or an attrition reserve.
We never seem to learn from history....how many WWII ac saw service in Korea, and ditto Korean War ac featuring in action in Viet Nam.
