Warbird Graveyard
A friend and I have got some days off in a couple of weeks and were thinking of going off in search of some sort of warbird graveyard in the US on our concessions.
Anyone know of any decent sites? I'd heard of one in the desert somewhere but not sure if that was urban legend or what?
Any good ideas welcome. The wife cant get the time off so perfect oppo to do something sad and spotter-like...sort of like a busman's holiday....

AMARC & the Pima Air & Space Museum are just outside Tucson, Arizona. BA have a daily flight to Phoenix, which is only a couple of hours drive to Tucson.
The Pima Air & Space Museum, which is well worth visiting, has a tour of the AMARC site several times each weekday. Phone ahead to make sure you can get a seat - it's popular!
The Titan Missile Museum is also very much worth visiting - I have a photograph of Pat turning The Key. Again, phone ahead to make sure you can get on a tour.

Davis Monthan AFB and Pima are the biz for military kit. Please note
you can only get into DM AFB on WEEKDAYS !!!
Between Phoenix and Tucson there is a commercial orientated graveyard called Pinal Air Park, but you won't get in there very easily !! -

Not great for dial up networks, may take a little time to load, but quite a nice presentation on AMARC here:
