Aerial view of the Tucson, Arizona, area, with a focus on a giant airplane "boneyard" of nearly 4,400 aircraft, the world's largest such aircraft graveyard, on a 2,600-acre site at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. Boneyards are either kept for storage with s

    Nice shot. There's something in the back of my head telling me about 'verification' of force reduction following signing some treaties. Areas like this could be photographed by satellite and some poor soul would then have to count the individual aircraft!
    Nice shot.

    Congressional Reseach Service report: "...Under START, heavy bombers were eliminated by having the tail section cut off of the fuselage at a location that obviously was not an assembly joint; having the wings separated from the fuselage at any location by any method; and having the remainder of the fuselage cut into two pieces, with the cut occurring in the area where the wings were attached to the fuselage, but at a location obviously not an assembly joint."

    Carol Highsmith, and her significant other, are wonderful.

    Always one for the "see also," I thought I'd point to the San Xavier Mission web site, which also has a great "History" page, for anyone who wanted to know more about this beautiful place. And then, as luck would have it, when I got my Google results and starting comparing pictures and locations, I realized that the San Xavier Mission, identified on the glass negative as being in California, is actually just outside of Tucson -- in Arizona! [http://www.flickr.com/photos/vieilles_annonces/1606643746/] Unless there are two shockingly similar missions, with the same name, it's time to change the title of this photo. Or blame the person who typed the label and stuck it on the glass negative 80 years ago? But a comment from us wouldn't be a comment without links...
