I've been there twice....I was an aircrewman in the Navy....we retired a plane from Hawaii and another from Maryland. They both were sad days....these planes become a part of your everyday lives. Then you strip it down to bare bones and fly it to a desert and abandon it. They fly them there when the cost of maintaining it goes above beyond what flight time they get out of them. They become spare parts for other aircraft that are serviceable..
Vision cycle. The aircraft we retired were P-3's.....submarine chasers.

If you check out the link, there’s videos how some are flown there for repair, some are dismantled for parts, others preserved and recommissioned later, then there’s the ones marked d where they are cutting up and destroying it. The flyover video looks like some of those jet fighters engines were removed.

After taking a few cuts and soaking a few seeds this morning for the solo cup challenge I've had a couple requests

For our fall garden. Besides 3 Brandywine tomatoes, 3 red cherry tomatoes and 3 yellow pear tomatoes all rooted and ready to rock I'll be adding 1 green and 1 grey zucchini, 3 sweet peppers (have 1 a month old in the greenhouse) and plant more green onions which i try and keep year round, as if I don't have enough to do

I got very lucky with my public school education. I always tested well even with little effort and by 6th grade I prolly read more pages weekly then most people. But the lucky part was the Toledo Public Schools Aviation Center at Toledo express airport.
Almost every teacher was x military and very competent. Our airframe instructor flew Dakota's and Libs over the hump in China. General instructor had worked on jets from F100 through 105 Thunderchief.
4 plus years for high school at an airport with the broadest STEM knowledge Injection of any highschool I could have taken in 1978. I also learned how to organize what had always been a chaotic study system. Instead of assuming that we new 9th graders had any knowledge at all they started with basics because they knew we would be there for 4 years.
I received an Airframe Mechanics Liscense at age 19 and worked in General Aviation for 5 years until the Government allowed some lobby organizations to rewrite some rules pertaining to maintenance of light aircraft. The result was devastating to light aviation and killed off a lot of light manufacturers and forced a few of them upstream into business jets and such. I had no problem transferring those skills into automotive and like a lot of aviation guys that's what I did.
The STEM education from highschool would have cost 2 years in Collage.
I got lucky.

I had...good grades in high school....not great...I got by. Got out and was a hippy for a couple years...hitch hiked to California....was dating a gal before I left...she was working as a secretary for yhe Navy recruiter...well it didnt work out in Cali...so I came home and talked the navy recruiter into enlisting me as an Aviation Electronic Technihian....as an aircrewman....made it through the training...20 years of John Q Public paying for me to travel the world spreading my seed.
