1 MORE DAY UNTIL THE NEW FOURTH BUILDING OPENS! Make plans now to see all four galleries, including the Presidential Gallery, which will feature SAM 26000, the Air Force One that carried President Kennedy on his fateful trip to Dallas in 1963 and brought his body back to Washington, D.C. after his assassination. Visitors will be able to walk through this historic aircraft, as well as three other presidential planes. - 89th Airlift Wing

Welcome to the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group, also known as the "Boneyard" at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. It's home to 4,000 mothballed military aircraft. Fifteen hundred of them are capable of being called back into flight-ready condition if need be.

you guys received tail number 44008 (I think) within the last few weeks... it was the last C-130 assigned to the deactivating 440th Air Wing out of Pope Army Air Field, formerly Pope Air Force Base, which is attached to Ft. Bragg, NC.

Sad day knowing that we won't have C-130s stationed here anymore. Have a few friends wondering when they'll be told they're moving.
