Pima Air & Space Museum & Boneyard Tour
Pima Air & Space Museum
One of the world's largest non-government aviation museums, with about 400 aircraft displayed outdoors. You can also join a tour of the 'Boneyard' at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base.
The museum covers about 80 acres. Six hangars and outdoor displays house about 400 aircraft, from a replica of the Wright brothers' flyer to the SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance plane, the B-52 bomber, and Air Force One, the presidential aircraft used by President Kennedy. Tram tours take visitors through the outdoor collection. The most popular experience is the AMARG bus tour, known as the 'Boneyard.' It must be booked in advance, and you need to submit identification ahead of time. Non-US citizens face additional restrictions, and availability depends on the official website. The tour takes you onto Davis-Monthan Air Force Base to see thousands of stored aircraft lined up across the desert. Admission is about $25, and the tour costs extra. Allow at least half a day.
