Where is the plane graveyard in USA?

The largest graveyard in the world is unsurprisingly in Tucson, Arizona. The warm, arid climate makes it ideal for storing planes without having to worry about humidity and weather damage. The Davis-Monthan Air Force Base primarily stores old military jets. Altogether, the site can store well over 4,000 aircraft.
