History Channel ran a program on the Boneyard a few months ago. Putting aircraft back into service after storage is a big part of their effort. (As well as stripping parts off of B-52s to keep the active fleet flying.)

The resurrection of the these bonyard B-52 aircraft is feasible. It would be impractical to resurrect any of these services (i.e., Navy, AF and Marines) fighter aircraft due to their limited fatigue lifes though.
