309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group
309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group, Aircraft boneyard and maintenance facility at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Tucson, United States.
The 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group manages over 4,000 military aircraft across 2,600 acres in the Arizona desert.
Founded in November 1945, this military installation became the central storage point for surplus aircraft following World War II operations.
The facility preserves numerous retired military aircraft, from Vietnam-era F-4 Phantoms to modern transport planes, documenting American aviation history.
The dry climate and moderate winters of Arizona prevent aircraft deterioration, allowing for effective long-term storage and parts preservation.
Each stored aircraft undergoes precise preparation, including the application of specialized latex coating to protect against desert conditions.
