    This may be an interesting add on to the 'Gifs' and 'Youtube' threads.

    I'll start.

    Try Davis Monthan Air Force Base.

    Is this the same as where Channel 4 show their advert? Or is that the place where they scrap all the redundant planes. Great find BTW. :)

    I think it is the one in the esting Gary. There are a few boneyards like this but Davis Monthan is by far the biggest.

    There's a story that they're all laid out like that so Soviet satellites could count them after strategic arms limitation agreements stipulated that X amount had to be confirmed to be scrapped. Whether its true or not I don't know.

    Not on Google Earth. But...If you tab down my road on street view (from the top), you can see me getting in to my wife's old car!
