The Ultimate 'Big Boys Toy',

if you have a kid or are one at heart this is the place for you, it is home to the 309th Aerospace Maintenance And Regeneration Group (309 AMARG) which carries out repairs to the craft and even gets some of them flying again, engines, munitions, wiring and electronics are all recycled to help lower the cost of maintaining the current-day fleet, in 2005, staff at the facility recycled more than 19,000 parts worth $568million (£366million),
the site is a 2,600-acre patch of U.S. desert where several generations of military aircraft are stored in what has been dubbed 'The Boneyard', the $35billion (£22billion) worth of outdated planes is kept as spare parts for current models at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona, so for the boy that has everything, this is the place to look for a Christmas present, I wonder what the import duty would be?
