Boneyard by night

By General Aviation News Staff · February 5, 2017 ·

Airailimages‘ Frederick A. Johnsen recently sent a link to a video he worked on.

“We received silent video capturing beautiful and ghostly night time-lapse imagery at the huge aircraft boneyard at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base made by Andrew Breese of Airman Magazine,” he explained.

“The detail is overwhelming as the constellation Orion rises in the night sky behind a derelict Douglas B-66 hulk and an F-86. The whole video is spooky evocative. We added music that moved us — we hope you enjoy the result.”

Enjoy.

    Sorry Michael. Without the wonderful music the video would have no emotion and no soul. The music brought the boneyard to life.

    An abuse of Beethoven’s music and a total miss on the ghostly atmosphere of the place.

    Great video….really enjoyed it. The music was very fitting too. We visited Davis-Monthan last June
    and it was rather sad to see all the planes being “put out to pasture”.
