CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge

Nacho, how far are you from some of the airplane boneyards in AZ?

Too far. Tucson is about two hours away on I-10 if there are no traffic issues, which there always are. I avoid I-10 in a car, much less a bike. Yup, if I were in Tucson, I'd be out at the Pima Air Museum posting pictures even before this challenge. Also the huge boneyard at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. Closer to home, and more in keeping with the challenge, the Commemorative Air Force Museum over by Falcon Field would be the place to go. It is very tempting, though it's a good hour on the freeways and the daily temperatures are now getting into the 90s and no fun to ride. Riding through the city would not be an option. Now, if I lived in East Anglia, in England I would ride to Duxford to the Imperial Air Museum and get my bike with something like a Spitfire or Hurricane or maybe even a real P-51. I volunteered there in '03-'06 and that place is fantastic. If you can get there, go. Meanwhile, I'm not completely out of options.

I came across that boneyard by accident via the back roads. Man, I wanted in on the grounds. However, I am sure they would have blacklisted by passport if I tried.

Thirty years ago, when I was stationed there, we gave tours of the boneyard. Also, you can get a good look at it from the air on Google. Interesting place.
