Davis-Monthan Air Force Base The most prominent tenant on the base is the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group of the Air Force Material Command . The main location for the 309 AMARG, Davis–Monthan AFB is the aircraft boneyard. Aircraft Boneyard is the final resting place for excess military and U.S. government aircraft and other aerospace vehicles such as ballistic missiles. However, during my tour of the base in 2017 I was told that some planes will be put back into service while others are scavenged for spare parts. Tucson's dry climate and alkali soil made it an ideal location for aircraft storage and preservation. Tthe 2,600-acre site contains nearly 4,400 aircraft. Tucson is a city in Pima County and home to the University of Arizona. The 2010 United States Census put the population at 520,116, while the 2015 estimated population of the entire Tucson metropolitan statistical area (MSA) was 980,263. Tucson is the second-largest populated city in Arizona behind Phoenix, both of which anchor the Arizona Sun Corridor. The city is located 108 miles (174 km) southeast of Phoenix and 60 mi (97 km) north of the U.S-Mexico border. Tucson is the 33rd largest city and the 58th largest metropolitan area in the United States (2014). Tucson was probably first visited by Paleo-Indians, known to have been in southern Arizona about 12,000 years ago. Recent archaeological excavations near the Santa Cruz River have located a village site dating from 2100 BC. In 1912, when Arizona statehood became reality, the total number of different flags that had flown over Tucson now numbered five: American, Spanish, Mexican, Confederate, and the State of Arizona.
