Way cool shot Jeff, it's amazing how old deralict parts and pieces come together to tell a story of days gone by. Love the subtle colors, it's a photo that you just keep looking at to take it all in. Beauty!

Thank you Harvey for the kind comments. I love photographing in these environments.

Beautiful Jeff. Odd that it's beautiful but it is to me. Some of my earliest and most vivid memories are of Navy aircraft in storage at NAF Litchfield. This really strikes a chord.  The other A-4 shot you posted was also outstanding.

I will add to the chorus.  Very neat shot.  Something about the chaos of all the textures and colors that work well together.

Much appreciated Scott and Anna. Thanks to Joe for suggesting we stop at this location. I think he new I'd like the ATW Aviation yard 

We did Coolidge, Eloy, Marana, TIA, PASM, and TIA that day. It was a fun sortie for sure.

Neat shot Jeff! Btw, This is not the ATW salvage yard- This is from  Fighting Classics (Side of the shop yard) next to Avra Valley road.

Late evening Apache.

Anyone know when the Collings Foundation planes will move from Mesa to Marana? The Collings Web site says they will be at Mesa until noon tomorrow (Thursday) and they will be at Marana starting at noon tomorrow. Something doe not compute unless Scotty is going to beam them from Mesa to Marana at noon.

Great T-33 shot Chris!  Rare to see one without the tip tanks.
