Here’s a neat picture of an airplane graveyard in Airzona.  Click here for a larger version.  (Apologies to the owner of the Blogspot account where it’s hosted, but I can’t find the front page of his blog…)

My understanding is that the broken planes in the center had to be left there so Soviet spy satellites could photograph them, as they were destroyed as part of the SALT II treaty.
