The featured C-133 propeller driven planes were death-traps when they were new, the chance of any of the ones in museums needing spare parts from the boneyard to make them air-worthy so we can see-off those pesky Russians is just not a good enough reason to hold on to these old air-frames. Yet they have kept them rather than put them through the recycling. Why hold onto these things for fifty years, do they have a procrastination problem? Compared to the air force boneyard in Arizona - Davis Monthan AFB - this boneyard is miniscule so maybe they are doing a really good job of recycling all those 747s nobody needs and have their own reasons for keeping the junk. Fascinating the place may be, it could be tidier.
