Современные руины - фотосайт Филиппа Бюлера

Самый, пожалуй, поразительный кусок - про AMARC (Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Center).

Outside Tuscon, Arizona in the Sonora Desert is AMARC, the Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Center. Here the U.S. Air Force mothballs planes until they either need them again or it's time to salvage them for parts. Whenever the U.S. sells surplus planes to foreign governments part of the sales pitch is that there will always have a ready supply of spare parts. Some are turned into pilotless drones and used for missile target practice.

There are about 4,000 planes in storage, most now from the Vietnam era.

Чудовищная картинка списанных B-52:

Например, вот такая:

недавно смотрел скучный, но познавательный фильм B-52 (http://us.imdb.com/Title?0278954). а в plane crazy (http://us.imdb.com/Title?0164814) сьемки этого поля в полете, совершенный сюр.

B-52 is the most successful military plane ever. Out of production for many years, it is expected to be in service for another, like, 50 years or so. For a total of 100 years! Remarkable.

Oh I love this stuff.

Похоже на картину Эшера liberation.

Да, я тоже подумал об этом. На эту ли картину, на другую - не знаю, но эшеровское точно есть.
