AMARG Boneyard

At the Pima Air & Space Museum you can take a bus tour of the nearby 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG) facility. Which is more commonly referred to as the “Boneyard”. Although they somewhat dislike that term.

This is because AMARG focuses on the preservation and restoration of aircraft. Either storing them for future use, reclaiming parts, or selling them off.

While Tuscon’s climate and landscape are nearly ideal for the storage of aircraft. Some preparation work is still needed. This includes the removal of delicate and/or sensitive equipment, draining of all fluids, and a final spray on application of an opaque white latex like substance.
