Boneyard Google Earth Images Confirm Airplane Cemetery. Ever wonder where airplanes go to die? The Boneyard is a military cemetery for airforce aircraft. With Google earth, you can take a look at the chilling pictures showcasing billions of dollars of scrapped machinery.

The “Boneyard” was established at the Davis-Monthan in Tucson, Arizona after World War II. The mammoth final resting place of aircraft covers a whopping 1,052 hectares and has 4,400 planes and other aircraft that has been taken out of service.

The military uses the “Boneyard” to get scrap parts and even refurbish planes and put them back to flight status. They also dispose of frames that are no longer useable. The technical name for this military location is the Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMRG).

Many individuals are intrigued by the AMRG location. In the past, the only way to see it would be to visit the base or find pictures supplied by the military. Now, it’s as easy as logging on to a computer with programs such as Google Earth.

Google Earth is an amazing software that allows you a birds-eye view of almost anywhere. It’s a great way to see what’s going on – or even just pass time when you are bored.
