There are more than 3,000 aircraft at the “Boneyard” At Davis-monthan Air Force Base,Arizona. I was stationed there in 2010 and its is a sight to behold.Simply amazing
I have purchased parts from BAS, and in your video, saw several planes that were operated by a company I worked for in the 1980s. Like a time capsule into my long over nightmare flying for airlines.
Very interesting video I have learned a lot and the video is top notch. It was always my understanding airplane parts could not be reused they were required to be replaced with new parts. Glad to know someone goes through the trouble to recycle these planes there are plenty of them out there.
I first starting buying g parts and ferrying Citations for White Industries in the early 80's. At that time the airfield was just dirt. The planes were lined up in rows by manufacturer and easy to navigate. Of course the trees were not a favorite that time. I visited the Bates city facility just as BAS acquired the inventory. It was truly amazingly to see how the place had changed since I first visited. Randy B
4:38 Military aircraft are stored in "The Boneyard" at Davis Monthan AFB in AZ. The 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG) maintains the the aircraft in storage and does salvage operations for the military.
@@ronrutten5889 I never got to fly on a DASH 7. However, I used to see them at MITCHELL INTERNATIONAL in Milwaukee all the time back in the 1980’s. They were almost like a helicopter since they didn’t need much of a runway. Unique sound too much like a small C130 since it has 4 engines. They only built the DASH 7 for 13 years. Oh well.
Terribly sad to see the Embraer E110's at the end of their days. I flew them in PNG and into West Papua for years and they were ideal for remote area freight and passenger operations. Apart from the lack of a pilots side escape door I thought it was a close second to the DHC-6 Twin Otter for utility and safety. Now I see my old Fokker F28-1000's and -4000's rotting away and it makes me feel old.
How did you do this? I want to visit here is it open to the public? I knew these existed but never knew where, I love aviation! This is such good quality thank you!
I knew it as White Industries; bought parts from them for nearly two decades. I even sent a couple of aircraft out there because we couldn’t get new windshields for them.

And those were once so called prestigious, state of the arts machines. No wonder I'm one of the few people in the world who are not mesmerizing by those worldly pieces of metal junks

Kudos to the cameraman.....great shots of a wonderful fuselage.
😊😊😊😊
Oh yeah 😊

😁...YOUUUUUUU....
It's great they are recycling these parts. There are a lot of planes flying out there thanks to this work.
Beautiful!!!! And the planes aren't that bad looking either!!

Fantastic video! This company is a example for other companies out there. Awesome job!
Kate, you are AMAZING! ❤
I saw an Italian that makes executive furniture from abandoned aircraft. Very artistic and beautiful.😊
Very much enjoyed this video thanks

So you hated flying for airlines? I would have given my left *** to fly for a living. Working the Corp Grind is a nightmare....buddy you had it good.

BAS, Jenkins. Good companies.
Great video, Kate...👍
BAS is amazing to do business with!
fantastic video
Oh what a great film! I’m going to buy something for my front room!
Oh, I think you need yourself.
This was great!!! Looking forward to more. Subscribed!!
Nice to see both locations!
This is very interesting I didn't know a place like this existed
Very interesting and informative. Well it’s like a car, truck, or bus. Eventually, they just get too old to be of cost effective use.

My god she is beautiful . The plane ....wow
My husband says, great shots of a gorgeous red head. Ha, Ha, Ha.
I agree 100%
Out in Sacramento there is Faeth Aircraft that does the same thing with general aviation like C-172 those sizes by the hundreds
This is THE BEST reporting of a subject I’ve seen. 5⭐️ professionalism!
Interesting video. Nice to hear just how much of a jet gets recycled. I wonder if cars could duplicate the 80% plus recycling rate?
1:57 Gulfstream never made a high wing 4 engine commuter.. looks like a Dash 7 to me.
It is a Dash 7. I flew on this one.
0:28 I believe he's referring to Gulfstream Intl which was a commuter airline. You can see the logo on the fuselage.

I worked at this place when I was in high school in the 1980's Back then it was White Industries. I am shocked those planes are still there!
I am a photographer. Is there any chance in getting access to this facility for artistic photography? Thanks
SO,,, kate,, can I visit this place just like what you did with this employee here ?? do they require appointment ?? and admission ticket ??? thx,,,

Tucson AZ is the bone yard for military aircraft.
As for her question of military planes the US has their own airplane boneyard in the Arizona desert.
That’s a small place. There’s a plethora of larger aircraft cemeteries all over the world.
So far no mention of the exact location. Guessing this is NOT the one in Arizona.
I hope the home-owner's association is okay with this. A swap and shop event might be fun.
Not a Gulf stream. Maybe it once belonged to the Gulf stream company. I think it's a DHC Dash 7.
The company started in an old "ling two." According to the captions. Interesting.
"lean to" obviously. You can never trust auto sub-titles
And, Yet. They don't have parts for obsolete Pipers.

They get spare parts here.
Trying to figure out the registration at 5:27
I'd guess it was N200LF, an Aero Commander 1121
❤❤❤❤
The aviation tar pit. So sad to see airplanes I flew decades ago decaying away in this site.
Guys, I want a simulator cockpit…
Well a pilot flew them in for their last time
Nope, some of those were far beyond flying condition.
Junkyards are sad places. Just think they use to be factory new.
@@johnLA1961 True but time does indeed march on. Years from now they’ll be old BOEING products in these places since they are sadly building crap now.
I'm never happy to see a junk aircraft.
With all due respect: BUYER BEWARE! * Cav *
Great content! 👍 Sub!!!

Why don’t they recycle these planes?
TURN OFF THE SUBTITLES!
turn off the subtitles and the robot voice

Good topic but the robot narration sounds really weird and disrupts the energy of the episode. One of the worst robot voices on YT tbh.
Good content. Bullshite comment about sustainability crap. People buy recycle parts because they are cheaper than new factory part.
And because the factory does not make those parts any longer!
Kate, there are no "environmental concerns." GO LIVE YOUR LIFE! Worry about the now.
