AMARG: Americas Strategic Military Aircraft Reserve

The US military stores more than 3,000 aircraft in the Arizona desert at AMARG, the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group facility. Home to massive fleets of F-15, F-16, and F/A-18 fighters, aerial refuelling tankers, bombers, C-130 and C-5 transports, various helicopters, and many special use aircraft, AMARG is much more than a place where aerospace vehicles come to die. Here some aircraft are stored and maintained, while others hold valuable spare parts ready to be harvested. As well as bringing the reader up to date with recent activities at AMARG, this book presents new, never-before-seen images that provide a visual tour of the "Boneyard."
