This is an Google Maps aerial shot of the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG), AKA “The Boneyard”, a 2,6000 acre facility that serves as the final resting place for over 4,200 US aircraft (I’m gonna go steal a Warthog !). Located in Tucson, Arizona, on the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, the facility was first set up shortly after World War II. It was chosen for its high altitude and arid conditions, that mean the aircraft can be left outdoors without deteriorating too quickly. Officials at the base say that the parts reclaimed and aircraft withdrawn turns every tax dollar spent into 11 dollars in return. Sure this is where all the good planes go when they die, but where do all the bad planes go? *clearing throat* I feel a song coming on! Where do bad planes go when they die? They don’t go to the Boneyard where the planegels fly Go to a place of fire and fry Shoot those dirty bastards right outta the sky And into a f***ing volcano! PEW PEW, PEW PEW PEW!! Hit the Google Maps link to explore the Boneyard yourself.

Seen here playing spaceman, Walter Frederick Morrison invented the modern Frisbee in the 1950’s after throwing a metal cake pan around on the beach with his wife. And the rest, my friends, is toy history. He originally called his toy the Pluto Platter and sold it at local fairs. In 1957 Mr Morrison sold the rights to the California firm Wham-O, which discovered that youngsters were calling the toy a “Frisbie” after the name of a well-known pie. The company changed the spelling to avoid trademark infringement and the Frisbee was born. On the official Frisbee website, Wham-O paid tribute to Mr Morrison, who was known as Fred. “As Frisbee discs keep flying though the air, bringing smiles to faces, Fred’s spirit lives on. Smooth flights, Fred,” it read. Ah, I can’t even begin to imagine how many countless hours I’ve spent throwing the ol’ Pluto Platter around in the yard with friends. Well Fred, this throw’s for you. *CRASH* Oh shit. Rest in peace. Frisbee inventor Walter Frederick Morrison dies aged 90 [bbcnews] Thanks to Cpt. Lars Von Fingerbang III, direct descendant of the royal Von Shockers.
