Rows of Stored Military Aircraft at Desert Boneyard Facility (Doug Carmichael Collection)

Rows of retired military aircraft sit in long-term storage at a desert reclamation facility, a common fate for airframes retired from active service. Facilities like this preserved thousands of Cold War and Vietnam-era aircraft for potential reuse, parts salvage, or eventual scrapping. Project: 219023
