Near Davis Monthan AFB, thousands of decommissioned U.S. military aircraft are stored here with German-like precession. I think my tax dollars from my 1980s earnings from Arby's paid for 1/10,000,000,000,000 of that. Well, at least we won the Cold War.

I wonder if there is any strategic advantage to keeping all this metal laying around in Arizona instead of recycling the metal. They'll definitely not rust away in the desert.

Of course the important thing to remember is that they are all capable of being returned to service if the need ever
arises
There are gaps and spaces in the lines - are these individual aircraft that have been returned to service?
