Airplane graveyard terrain idea
« on: 25 February 2010, 10:13:59 AM »
Saw this in todays tabloid,

would make for a great terrain project I think, just buy a gazillion planes in a suitable scale :)

Gosh, and if you zoom right in you get a fantastic detailed view of disassembled planes..........  Looks like a giant model collection.

I already have enough 1/48 USAF planes to fill a whole gaming board. Never thought about building an airplane graveyard, but I must admit I considered building a military museum gaming table.

Ahh good old Davis-Monthan Airforce Base in Tuscon, Arizona. Vast array of US military Aircraft located there. My Uncle was stationed and retired from the Air Force there. Took me and my dad on a tour of the areas we were allowed to go, it was neat driving by the stored aircrafts, matter of fact there are areas there in Tuscon that while your driving down the road you will be able to clearly see into the Bone Yard.

One funny thing my Uncle told me and my dad was that back in the 80's or 90's as part of an agreement with Russia and other nations we had to totally de-mil (destroy) a number of military aircraft, and unfortunately one of them was some where in the Bone Yard and we couldnt find it. The Russians were the ones who found it for use using a satellite photo of the base. Turns around that when we did the rotation of the aircrafts (the way I understand it is they move the stored aircraft around so as to confuse possible hostile nations as to the location of specific aircraft) who ever moved the plane didnt properly document its new location and it was buried in part of the Bone Yard it wasnt slated to be in.

It would make a great scenario for a zombie game.

Zombie B-52s?
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo
