Your tax dollars at work

Rico says his friend Tex sends along some photos of Davis-Monthan AFB outside Tucson, with these notes:
If you are ever in the Tucson area, weekly tours are still given through the Tucson Air Museum, located just south of Davis-Monthan AFB. It's difficult to comprehend the size of the 'Bone Yard' and the number of aircraft stored there. Of course, the important thing to remember is that they are all capable of being returned to service if the need ever arises. Remember that each one of these babies had a multi-million-dollar price tag!
Even if you have seen this before, look again.The third largest Air Force in the world is sitting on the ground here. It's the only unit in the U.S. Air Force that actually makes a profit...
