I have seen that place in person the AMRAG is an anex of Davis-Monthan AFB.
We used to sometimes to give them parts for generators stuff like that.
You see how the old B-52s are laid out in parts? That is part of the START and Clear Skies treaties they have to cut them up and then leave the sections out like that for a certain amount of time some that a Russian satellite can see that they are in fact being destroyed. If you look you'll see in various place in Russia Tu-95s chopped up the same way they. See the ones with the multi tone camouflage? Those are old the USAF stopped using that scheme in the early 80's. The solid green ones are old as well that scheme was phased out in 1993-96. Those F-4s might belong to the German Air Force other allied air forces also store aircraft there. I am surprised to see no C-141s I guess they already all got scrapped of course they had no plan to ever re-use them.
@ Buddahaid yeah there is a museum right near by I guess the people just bought planes from the boneyard they sell them for scrap all the time. there are a few companies that just get the scrap the Gloster Meteors must have been obtained from a different source.
