Fun tidbit about the boneyard in Tucson, the 80's movie "Can't Buy Me Love" was set here and at one point the high school kids sneak into the boneyard to check out the planes up close. I think they used a dumpster to help climb over a brick wall to get in, but there was no such location! At the time it was surrounded only by tall chain link fences, but they wanted to make it look easier for the characters.
