Thanks Ron. I think I've ready somewhere about cashed up simulator enthusiasts buying consoles etc for their sim cockpits. Amazing place.
I wonder if the public can access at all? Sounds like its on a base.

I have visited there when I traveled to see my son in Arizona. There are more planes there than what the Aussies have in their entire military.

It is really something else to see the yard first hand. It takes a while to just drive around it, let alone to see the space filled with aircraft

Cheers

Thanks for the link Ron.

When you consider the US still has some 76 B-52H's in service that can each carry up to
20 long-range cruise missiles with nuclear warheads, you would think mission planners
would be hard pressed to find that many cities and military targets within Russia
to destroy.
