Gerard just visited Tucson and I love visiting Tucson... I am depressed and without a camera so....

Time for a new thread

I think the some of the best aviation photography can be desert shooting
Some of my most fun spotting days were out in the desert. But in this thread any
stored aircraft will do.

fred, i love those shots! when i lved out in PHX/ PRC i spent a lot of time bouncing around those airports. it's amazing that pre-9/11 nobody really bothered you when you walked around the boneyards. i used to walk around wishing i had the cash, resources and knowledge to restore one of those old helicopters... still do in fact!

The guys from http://www.34restoration.org did exactly that getting their ship from Cochise, Arizona and driving it across country to
Jamesport, NY.
And back in the late 70s NYPD Aviation wanting to transition to larger copters picked up two Vietnam era UH-1s from a boneyard out in Arizona and flew them back to Floyd Bennett using from what I heard only handheld radios to contact ATC.

From RDG. It's not the best capture, but to be fair it was taken from the right seat of a rolling 172. :)

The only two I can identify for sure are the C-119 and the DeHavilland Swallow. The two helos, Choctaws? Maybe naval variants thereof?
