A few pictures from a place in the Hamilton area. The owners of the property are hated in the vintage plane community - they buy old planes, and then let them rot. Requests by museums for the aircraft or parts are ignored. As you can see, they are in a sorry state. This property can be found on the west side of Highway 6, south of Harper Corners.

Even though I'm not a member of this board, I have a few pics I haven't put up anywhere yet that you guys might be interested in.
These are at two aircraft junkyards at the Fairbanks airport, old transports and commercial aircraft end up here for parts.
I don't know what this one is, all I can think of is that it looks like the "Sea Duck" from that old Disney cartoon, but with a jet engine stuck on top. Maybe a homemade thing? It had some art on the nose and on the jet, which I couldn't really get a shot of due to the angle it was parked.
Sorry about the distortion, Av's uploader doesn't get along with satellite modems.
Turn off the internet and go play outside.

Ferret the 3rd picture from the top looks like an old Harvard? Am I right?
[13:54:15] <Agent_Skelly> Well, a friend of mine I had "benifits" with last fall was 420 lbs
[13:54:51] <Raider> Wow.... that is large.... now she doesn't crush you or anything? Not to be rude but seriously I'd suffocate

Indeed it is. Ex-RCAF, unless I'm mistaken. The wings are laying on the ground somewhere nearby. I have no respect for the owners, who are just letting these planes rot, even though they regularly receive offers from museums to buy the planes. Most of the planes there were in flying condition when they were taken there.

Comming back from Cali I drove through the Mojave desert and saw this place. I would have stopped but I was already behind schedule so this is the best pic i've got. Does anyone know what they do with these planes? Are they using them for parts or are they just being gutted for scrap?

Awesome board... aircraft have always been a love/passion/obsession of mine since I was about 5. I was pretty crushed when I found out that I couldn't join the Air Force.... Anyways.
The place I would saw off a testicle to visit (as far as boneyards go) would have to me Davis-Monthan AFB in Arizona. This is where they get rid of most of the aircraft in the inventory and mothball not needed ones. Acres upon acres of quiet aircraft...

This looks a lot like a ex USAF Convair CV-240 (I think the USAF called them T-29s)
This looks like 3 Curtiss C46 Commandos and the remains of a Fokker F-28
This is a Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar

I like those harvard trainers, we used to have one on the salmon arm air field at times. Also a chinese version of a yak fighter.

I know this thread is about 2 years old, but this boneyard pictured is at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, just outside of Tuscon, Arizona. It's the largest of it's kind in the world.
