• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Aircraft Boneyards

Pretty neat web-sight Milton. I can see spending mucho time on it. It's a cold, calculated governmental money decision to get rid of/scrap 'obsolete' aircraft' after their service life is finished. I just wish the government could have put aside X amount of WWII aircraft,...knowing they would have a bright future with restorers and aviation museums.

This is the most depressing and sad quotes from the Kingman article:
In subsequent months, brand new aircraft directly from assembly lines were even disposed of at Kingman.
..
In addition, 38 of the military’s 118 Consolidated (Convair) B-32 "Dominator" heavy bombers were flown to Kingman, many directly from the assembly line in Fort Worth.
