If you visit Tucson, you can take your own pictures of the D-M Boneyard, just from ground level...:^)

EnlishRussia.com has many pics of abandoned military facilities of the old Soviet. Striking.

Yes, they do. I didn’t post the links because pages I viewed did not identify the airfields or were located at the already well known airfields.

“Aluminum and titanium don’t rust”

Aluminium does indeed rust but in a different manner than steel. Steel rust is porous and exposes the next layer of steel to oxygen. Aluminium ‘rust’ makes a solid layer protecting the Aluminium beneath it.
