Most all of the P-3Cs I flew on are out there. What I wouldn't give to get some parts off one of them.

The video makes me ponder if what we have become is really better?

Bet there's several old MAC transports that we flew on out in that yard. C-97s, C124s, C130s, C141s..........

Nice invisible stealth.

I was just looking at the sat photos of the yard on Google and it looks like a lot of birds are gone. Surprised to see a bunch of A-4 Skyhawks still sitting there. Also surprised to see a bunch of T-45 Goshawk trainers out there. I thought those were still pretty new.

Sadly we are on track to become nation of "pajama-boys..

clemul: Thanks for posting this. I haven't been to that one but the Air Museum in Tucson and another in Palm Springs are both well worth a visit if you're close. Just last year I ran into docents that were crew members during WWII and told some hair raising stories about their missions. Our history that's slowly being lost.....too bad.

I always found the WWII era planes fascinating . Drones, not so much.

Link didn't work. I think it's www.c141heaven.info
I know what you mean though Darius. We were flying C-141s when they were brand new beck in the late 60s. Hard to believe that they are mostly retired now. Hell of a good aircraft.
