Boneyard Almanac – Then And Now

The Boneyard – A patch of Arizona desert full of stored and derelict aircraft from the past and present.  To walk among the war-weary aircraft parked here is to take a literal trip into the past.  Fighters sit among cargo aircraft, while bombers are surrounded by trainers.  Regardless of what specific plane is in your view, there’s a story around how it got there and the men and women who flew it.  One of service.  One of sacrifice.  Of times both better and worse for the airmen and the world.

Photographer Del Laughery received unprecedented access over the last 15 years to the current collection itself as well as never-before-seen government archival photographs, and taps into his personal collection of  photos from the 1960s through the 1990s, and uses them as the basis for all four books he has published.

Boneyard Almanac – Then and Now divides photographs into two periods:  Then, prior to the year 2000, and Now, from 2000 through current time.  This approach provides you the opportunity to compare and contrast over fifty years of aircraft storage at MASDC/AMARC/AMARG.
