http://www.desertusa.com/mag06/apr/airplane.html>> AMARC is situated near the heart of Tucson, at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, a boneyard for some 4000 airplanes. Under various names, AMARC has performed its unusual mission since it housed B-29s and C-47s from World War II. These older planes are gone, sold as surplus or scrapped ??????????????
