The world's largest aircraft boneyard, operated by the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG) at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona, stores surplus military aircraft. These facilities, often located in dry desert environments, serve multiple purposes including temporary storage, maintenance, parts reclamation, and eventual scrapping. The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted commercial airlines, leading to hundreds of planes being placed in temporary storage, further highlighting the role of these boneyards. Similar storage facilities exist globally, such as Aerosave in Spain and APAS in Australia. AI
