Greetings All..

noob here.. But I went to check out a site that was in the public DB. Got some ok pics that I wanted to share with you. I'll update the DB when I get permission from the OP..

Not too busy here I guess. If the birds feel comfortable building a nest right out in the open like this.

A bird nesting in a "bird." Love the set! I absolutely love planes and would love to get to a location like this! Look forward to more posts from you! Happy exploring!

Nice. I like this place. I have quite a few nights shots out there. And have been chased like crazy by the Indian police there as well.

Love this set!

I love old airplanes. Great shots! I know Tucson and Marana have old airplane storage and scrapping, but I didn't realize that Chandler did as well. The Pima Air Museum is worth seeing if you get down to Tucson.

This is one of the coolest things I have seen on here. Nice job!

Really great set, would love to find some planes, thanks for posting.

Could've fooled me. Boneyards rule.

Thanks for everyone for your encouragement and support! I couldn't imagine a warmer welcome.. I guess that means when I do step on my dick yer all going to make sure I'm wearing golf shoes at the time! ha!

I did post to the noob section introducing myself. So I won't repeat the whole thing.. Just to say I am a professional photographer ( aka poor guy w/camera ). But I mostly shoot studio stuff.. Been a long time since I tried shooting stuff like this.. So it's a learning experience for me..

But.. I'm happy to answer any questions I can... and if you are local to the Phoenix area ( I'm in South Scottsdale / North Tempe ) it's no problem at all to meet up.. bend a elbow & talk photography or exploring..

You're lucky. I was wrongfully arrested due to a mistake by the Gila River Indian Community dispatcher right in front of that big plane a few yrs back. The officer that hauled me to jail was pretty cool (other than arresting me in front of a client, and ignoring the fact that I was telling him there was a mistake)... He told me they've got ZERO tolerance for explorers out there. Be careful!

What an awesome find! It kind of reminds me of that abandoned airport in GTA San Andreas...

Lovely shots! I especially like #14.

I tried to go here in late 2008 and got asked to leave almost immediately by some dude in a pickup truck. Might have to give it another shot!

I'm creeping in this forum from the east coast, but I gotta say this is super rad!!
