That's so cool. I've been to DM, it's quite the sight. I've always wondered why we keep all the F-4's though....seems that if things got that rough, we're already screwed.

There used to be a huge civilian boneyard out near Mojave, CA, too.  But looking on G-maps sat view, it looks like it's all been replaced with wind farms.

We could always sell them to someone desperate enough to need them...the losing side in a Sino-Russian war perhaps?  ^-^

What's hilarious is how many times the author of this book (http://www.amazon.com/Black-Helicopters-Over-America-Strikeforce/dp/1881532054) gets the name of that base wrong - and a different way each time
