If you don't have Google Earth, you should get a free copy. Then go to Tucson, Az and have a look.
What you see in the pictures goes on for miles, and miles!
"Officials at the base say that the parts reclaimed and aircraft withdrawn turns every tax dollar spent into 11 dollars in return."
yeah, right!
Have a look:
Among the aircraft (#4) is a B-1 bomber. Well they have well over 30 of these sitting there at $12 billion a copy.
#3 is an F-14. Cost to produce:$38 million back then.
By July 2007, 23 F-14s had been shredded at a
cost of $900,000 each!
It is truly a racket.
