AMARC
the F-111 graveyard, a virtual tour...
Last updated 02 December 2001
 
 AMARC, the Aircraft Maintenance And
Regeneration Center (sic), features regularly as the resting place of most of the
remaining F-111s on the eight tail numbers
pages. AMARC is on the edge of Davis-Monthan AFB in the Arizonan desert, and has an
enormous number and variety of US armed forces aircraft in indefinite storage. The
dry desert air prevents significant corrosion to the airframes, and enables them to used
when required for spare parts. The same is the case for the F-111s deposited there,
with many stripped to mere carcasses. A number of the remains have been sold for
scrap.
(Ronny
Edmonson)
Few F-111 aircraft have ever
been regenerated from AMARC. One aircraft which has escaped to fly again from AMARC
is F-111G 68-272 aka RAAF A8-272 'The Boneyard Wrangler'. This aircraft was selected
for purchase by the RAAF after its arrival to Davis-Monthan AFB. 68-272 was patched
back together by 'Petey and Crew 5' and hobbled to SMALC at McClellan AFB, Sacramento for
reconditioning and eventual RAAF ferry to Australia. A comprehensive article about
'The Boneyard Wrangler' was published in Air Fan International and is republished on this site. |

In 1998 / 99 the
RAAF has conducted significant work at AMARC in salvaging components for the
'life-of-type' of the Australian F-111s to be extended to the year 2020. One of the
contractors assisting the RAAF in this task is Cedric
Mitchell (Mitch), and he has provided a large number of photographs of the F-111
remains. Mitch's AMARC Images
