Nah, not really.
But you can wander around the U.S. military aircraft boneyard (http://darkroom.baltimoresun.com/2015/05/the-bones-of-4000-planes-in-arizona/#1). Be advised that it will take a while.

I don't know if I should be I should be impressed, or depressed.

I wonder how long it would take to make those serviceable.

I've been there. Amazing place! In the early 90's we delivered one of our older P3 to the bone yard. It took a good part of the day to drive around to look at all the planes.


It does not take that long to get one of those planes back flying. Depreservation of the plane, inspections and upkeep maintenance.

March 2015. B-52 'Ghost Rider' resurrected from desert Boneyard (http://www.cnn.com/2015/02/21/us/arizona-b-52-restored/)
Upgrades will be completed next year.... The resurrection process took 70 days, according to the Air Force report...
For a time, Ghost Rider will sit beside the damaged B-52 for transfer of usable, updated equipment, the Times reported. It is expected to resume active service next year. ...http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/150220133447-03-ghost-rider-exlarge-169.jpg

There are probably more planes in that bone yard then there are most of the worlds Air Forces. Would love to visit that place.

Usable aircraft in a country who's leaders think we need less defense. :sadangel:
