This is the nations air power reservoir. Not just a parking ground for retired aircraft, it also regenerates aircraft for US and allied use, handles spare parts, and increasingly, does depot level maintenance on active aircraft. No longer accessible to the general public, and is a restricted area within the US Air Force, so even DMAFB base access won't get you in.

This place is amazing! Friendly staff, especially The gentleman named Mac in one of the WW2 hangers. Make sure to say hi when you see him, he’s a great storyteller; you’ll make his day and I’m sure he’ll make yours! The boneyard is massive! I’ve never seen so much history in the desert. Little planes, crop dusters, passenger planes, jets, bombers to choppers. You’ll see it all it it’s well formation. Stayed over five hours walking around, getting lunch as well as reading about all the history behind almost every plane. Definitely bring water and snacks and comfy shoes and be patient. Lots to see!
An aircraft boneyard or aircraft graveyard is a storage area for aircraft that are retired from service. Most aircraft at boneyards are either kept for storage with some maintenance or have their parts removed for reuse or resale and are then scrapped. Boneyard facilities are generally located in deserts, such as those in the Southwestern United States, since the dry conditions reduce corrosion and the hard ground does not need to be paved. The 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group in Tucson, Arizona, the largest facility of its kind, is colloquially known as \The Boneyard\.
A must see for any airplane or military buff and an enjoyable tour for the average lay person. Great tour on nice bus. The guide was very informative and wonderful at pointing out special planes and stopping so we could take pictures. Would take the tour again just because there is so much to see that it is hard to take it all in in one visit.
