Base Davis-Montand. Aircraft storage. H. 2

We are still driving along this side, away from us are open-air warehouses.

hanging tanks ...

containers with something small

The Boeing YAL-1 (ABL, AirBorne Laser)), an experimental combat aircraft capable of using a powerful onboard laser to destroy various enemy objects, rises in the distance. We will see it a little later.

what is it? KC-10?

here they are

and we are driving past the automotive warehouses

retired first Hummers

the fence spoils everything

Here is the general view

it is not clear why just starting to disassemble, do not bring it to its logical conclusion?

There is also a warehouse of components and any equipment in the open air.

you can see the tails of the CH-46

remnants of B-52?

there are relatively whole

and we are moving again to the other side of the base, so it’s possible to leave it only there

Any auxiliary equipment, snow clean up apparently? :-))

and this is the A-10 that recently flew

on the road we see slender rows of C-130

In the subsequent excursion to this base, I took into account some features, but this is already in the next story.

Comments

[Grigorievich]

An interesting tour, we are waiting for the next.

[Pervusha Isaev]

the planes are in the heat, this means that the rubber seals will crumble in a few years, as well as tires, insulation of the wiring - all this becomes unusable very quickly, so this is not a storehouse for aircraft, but a cemetery ...

[Bongo]

This is the KS-135 refueling tank based on the Boeing-707

[Bongo]

Great reportage, huge fat "+". There are really a few minor inaccuracies, but with such an abundance of aircraft, this is more than forgivable.

This is not a Hokai with dismantled radar plates, but a carrier-based transport aircraft. It was on his base that the E-2 AWACS was used. Immediately behind the C-2, the extreme is not the C-130, but the C-123 of a "green" color.

[PSih2097]

Well, how many flying equipment can they quickly return to service ... yes, albeit outdated, but not lost the ability to perform their functions ...

[Noncombatant]

Well done Americans. In the late 80s, the USSR was very quickly forced to put many new aircraft (and not only) "under the knife", motivating this by reducing the level of the arms race and promising to carry out similar actions. According to the contracts, everything is formally executed - the equipment is deactivated, is in storage. But these agreements (which the Americans themselves drew up) do not regulate a small "nuance" - in what form and HOW will this equipment be taken out of combat readiness. Our "under the knife" - why bother, we will do it! But overseas "friends" took off part of the engines, equipment, and - to the parking lot. The devils are striped.
And also, looking at the territory of the storage base, you understand that they were very lucky with the climate. I was wondering where we can place the equipment in this form, it only crossed my mind ... Crimea)) Which returned only recently.

[Hairy Siberian]

The scale is certainly impressive, as is American prudence.

Absolutely impressive! Please tell me the date when the pictures were taken, I want to compare something ... Recently, the number of aircraft stored there has slightly decreased.

Well, I have questions:

by C-5: judging by the list at http://www.planespotters.net/Production_List/Lockheed/C-5_Galaxy/?p=1

There are almost two times more "Galaxiks" in storage than can be counted from the photographs posted in this article and a photo courtesy of Sergey (Bongo ).

The question is: Is the Davis-Montan base not the only storage base?

And another question (to the author): F-117 based on Davis-Montan not seen?

No, not the only one. There is also a storage center in Mojave, but mostly civilian cars are stored there. Perhaps the missing C-5 live somewhere at airbases, next to combat vehicles.

[Petrovi42202]

How did you know that the bus was a Volvo?

[Simple]

Photos with the comment "this is how it looks in general" and "general views" is written. (Mirror reflection)

By the way, fotik test.

Was it possible to take a photograph from the bus?

[A1L9E4K9S]

The photos are impressive, this is where the real paradise, Eldorado, Klondike is for our color pickers, that’s where they had fun.

[Dragon-y]

They will deliver this equipment themselves, you know where ...

[mikolameh]

Yes, an interesting tour, but do we have anything like that?

[Golddigger 96]

The photo does not have F-18 A F-15 modifications B, C, D. TY is the base of Tyndall Florida 325 combat wing 19 air army. HH is Hawaii Pearl Harbor Hikam Base 15 Combat Wing 13 Air Army. JZ is the Air National Guard Base New Orleans Louisiana 159 Combat Wing 122 Squadron. You can also see keels base Jacksonville Florida 159 squadron and Montana base Great Falls 120 combat wing 186 squadron.

[Golddigger 96]

And I also forgot to write a keel with an eagle. This is Kingsley base, Origon 173 wing 114 squadron. And in this photo not F-18 as well as F-15 of the same units. Units not related to N.G. replaced them with F-22 and N.G. are content with what came from these parts, well, of course, what else can fly. A larger photo could be said in what year the cars arrived in the unit.

[Golddigger 96]

Photo No. 114 and in front of it, you can clearly see the year of arrival of the F-16 in parts 81 and 84, taking into account the flying hours of the amers, then a considerable safety margin in gliders is laid.

[Nessie]

Although American equipment, you won’t look without tears! Well, technology and mechanisms shouldn’t just stand there! Either disposal, repair or further operation.

[Olegmog]

And really, the devils are striped!

[vvp2412]

Are these aircraft in storage? They type are not written off? Type are considered in service?

[Des10]

After all, there is the F-5! Stunned how many have not heard (stories) -see (in the photo and in films) about such repositories --- impressive. And after all - not a speck of dust!

[Gorvas]

Of course, I do not insist, but I would like to know how much nuclear weapons ammunition I need to use to help our striped friends dispose of this site as soon as possible.
