Currently hosting around 4,500 aircraft, the Aircraft Maintenance and Regeneration Center at Davis-Monthan AFB holds a fascination to aviation enthusiasts and has inspired a number of books and several web pages. The location is near ideal for long term storage of aircraft - there’s little rainfall and the desert surface is strong enough to support the largest planes. However, some protection is needed - hence the white coating seen protecting cockpits from the heat and openings from the desert sand and wildlife.

For more information see AMARC’s own web site and virtual tour plus ‘The AMARC Experience’ and ‘AMARC II AMARC’.

The location and content of the storage area constantly change - those familiar with the sight of several hundred stripped Boeing 707’s over the last two decades next to the Kolb Road would be surprised to see them replaced with C-141’s today.

This purpose of this part of the site is to provide a definitive and reconciled list of all the residents at two specific points in time : 18 February 2000 and 20 May 2001.
