Davis-Monthan AFB (DMA, KDMA)/AMARG

An immersive 360° aerial over the 'boneyard' captured October, 2015.

Of interest is the placement of the tail sections of the B-52s.  As part of the 1991 START (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty) between Russia and the US the tail sections of the decommissioned B-52s are to be placed at a 30 degree angle to and aft the remaining portion of the aircraft and left for at least 60 days.  This serves to allow the Russians to verify by satellite that the aircraft had been destroyed.

Nice shot on the last C5A Walt, always a bittersweet thing to see the last of any type on its last flight.
