The birds of the desert
As with all vehicles of any kind which are at the end of its operational life somewhere just forgotten, or simply scrapping for the passage of time and corrosion make them disappear slowly. But there is one exception, the airplane graveyard. For in these places of storage of old iron birds are all benefits

.As an example, today I bring you the greatest of them all, the AMARC (Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Center), located in the Mohave Desert of Tucson, Arizona. The site is not chosen by chance because the dry climate and terrain are suitable for alkaline storage of aircraft, in many cases, after spending long periods there are tuned again and sold to third parties, mainly the forces airlines of other less developed countries.
The visual impact of the images is high, as the meticulous organization of thousands of aircraft of all types, as seen from the air, is most unusual.
In the AMARC aircraft are more than 4200 retirees, most of them from U.S. Air Force, but also going to stop there private jets and even NASA. Many of the planes that come here are in good shape to fly, but the reasons to stay there are very varied, in many cases, the emergence of new technologies make it obsolete, especially in fighter aircraft and war, in other cases, simply maintenance costs are too high and are replaced by cheaper devices.
