[quote=YINDUFFY,293849]This facility is not secret or mysterious. Tours are given and books with many pictures have been published. Started at the end of WW2 when thousands of aircraft ( some brand new) were no longer needed some were sold off as scrap metal and some were kept to provide a source of spare parts. It is open to the public and there is an excellent museum with samples of aircraft nearby. The dry conditions of the desert were found best for long term storage and better than a damp cold area. Aircraft and helicopters from there are sold or given to foreign governments also.[/quote]
