In Sonora desert, Arizona, a bit outside Tuscon, lies the biggest airplane cemetery in the world. US Airforce base Davis Monthan is where many airplanes go to be scrapped or taken apart for their spare parts

I spotted it on Google Earth and I have to say that I have never seen so many airplanes gathered. I doubt if the people there know exactly how many airplanes there are in this base.

To understand the magnitude of this base, see to what a small dot corresponds.

I include an interactive add on from Google Maps so you can easily zoom in and out.
