Somewhere in Arizona there's a cemetery for aeroplanes ...... and it's massive ! Maps of the world, street map search - powered by Multimap
I have seen this plane dump on TV documentries before and as you said it is a very massive place. Our plane boys would love it.
That's Davis Monthan down Tuscon way, I'd say. Should have seen the stuff they had lined up in Arizona (and a couple of other states) after the war!
I guess I must have passed it many times on the way to Tucson and never even gave it a thought !! :noidea: But I did find this .... the base was named in honor of Lieutenants Samuel H. Davis and Oscar Monthan, two Tucsonans and World War I era pilots who died in separate military aircraft accidents. Davis, who died in a Florida aircraft accident in 1921, attended the University of Arizona prior to enlisting in the Army in 1917. Monthan enlisted in the Army as a private in 1917, was commissioned as a ground officer in 1918 and later became a pilot. He was killed in a crash of a Martin bomber in Hawaii in 1924. 2nd Lt. Samuel H. Davis, killed Dec. 28, 1921 and 2nd Lt. Oscar Monthan, killed March 27, 1924.
