Thanks for sharing an extremely interesting site with us. A terrific collection of planes. I have driven by this site a number of times but never on it.

what is the cause of death...metal fatigue of the aluminum airframe?

Maybe the authorities need to search this area to see if the missing Malaysian plane landed here. It would be a great hiding place.

Great pics at your site. One who loves planes must really feel they are in a grave yard of the dead when looking at those pics. Is this a permanent monument or will the parts be recycled someday?

Wow what a flood of memories. During my Air Force years I have flown on many of these birds. Kinda sad to see them now though.
Thanks!

No, there is no metal fatigue. Every airframe in the yard is capable of flying with it's equipment re-installed. Many years ago I was hauling airframes to D/M for a reserve outfit that was being shut down. Our crew flew a frame from Columbus, Ohio to D/M. We turned it over to the good folks who run the boneyard, and they, in turn, handed another plane over to us to haul to Merced, CA. Same make, same model, just that the frame we flew to Merced had been in service in Alaska during the '60s. The crew chief on that plane later became the curator of the museum @ Merced. He located the plane in D/M and put in a request for it to be in his museum. We were the only outfit remaining that flew this particular plane. Our illustrious DO 'volunteered" our services to fly it. One of the funniest experiences I ever enjoyed while in the reserves. It was one of the few times I ever got thrown OFF of a military installation, and in an Air Force plane at that! Imagine a full-bird colonel STANDING behind a propellor-drive plane while it was being started. It never occurred to this guy that the huge piles of "oil-dry" sitting under each engine were going to create quite a dust storm when the props began to turn. That is exactly what happened. He was screaming at his driver and the Air Police who were there but they were laughing so hard they could not hear him either. We taxied to the runway and tower told us the old man was peeved and didn't want us to leave. And leave is exactly what we did, flew across the road to Edwards, stole some oil, and flew to Merced! What a trip!
