identifying the planes?[edit]

I was looking at the site on Google Maps, and was pleasantly surprised to see what looked like P-51 Mustangs!! It made me wonder— can they really be Mustangs, and do they really have planes going all the way back to the Second World War there?? I then did a search to find out what types of aircraft they have there, but couldn't find the answer.

This page on Wikipedia would naturally be a great place to have a list of what planes are there currently, and which are gone, etc.

I'm sure a true plane nerd would do well by this page to add it in!

Here's a link to the suspected Mustangs on Google Earth—

If anyone knows what they are, it would be interesting to find out!

Thanks in advance, and keep 'em flying, girls and boys!

I believe those are Beechcraft T-34 Mentor trainers. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 11:43, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reference??[edit]

Where is the source(citation) for this information?: For instance, Turkey has purchased several Vietnam-era jets in recent years that had been stored on site

IMO, this should be deleted as anecdotal information and/or OR. Ckruschke (talk) 20:09, 28 January 2013 (UTC)Ckruschke[reply]

I will delete it, there is no reference nor reliable source for that information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Onursengul (talk • contribs) 15:00, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I checked a few of the USAF Fact Sheet links, can not find any notation for the assignment or reference to the 309th number. help? LanceBarber 19:34, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, I found it. LanceBarber 19:43, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AMARG in popular culture[edit]

The Group's facility was featured in a scene from the 1992 experimental documentary film Baraka.
The Tom Petty video "Learning to Fly" was filmed at the "Boneyard".
In the 1987 film Can't Buy Me Love, Patrick Dempsey's character took his girlfriend on a tour of the "Boneyard".
Werner Herzog's film Little Dieter Needs to Fly ends with scenes of Dieter Dengler touring the "Boneyard".
In the popular video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas CJ, while in Las Venturas, embarks on missions at an airbase resembling AMARG.

None ae notable, none have references, none are based or entirely filmed, none are known in history, every film has scenes somewhere, wiki is not a database of pop. culture or trivia. There are many boneyards, Arkansas, Marana, Socorro, Death Valley, Edwards AFB, China Lake,... references are needed as sources. LanceBarber (talk) 03:57, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Excess Defense Articles[edit]

I thought the military (DoD?) acronym Excess Defense Article (EDA) might be appropriately used and defined in this article. Any objections? 70.247.160.227 (talk) 23:11, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
