The museum contains inside and outside displays. The inside aircraft have been restored, many to their original configuration and markings. The museum had many rare and a few one-of-a-kind aircraft. Outside, the aircraft are much less restored, and many have latex covering the windows to protect them from the sun.
The AMARG "Boneyard" bus tour takes you onto Davis-Monthan Air Force Base to view plans that have been put into long-term storage. Some of the planes are used as parts to keep active-duty planes flying and others are kept in case they need to be reactivated. This was the case with the A-10 Thunderbolt. After the first Gulf War, most of the A-10 aircraft were deactivated and stored at the Boneyard. The military has determined that they need the unique capabilities of the A-10, so a number of the A-10s are being retrofitted with new wings and avionics to now serve in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The A-10 Thunderbolt, commonly called the "Warthog". Its 30mm, nose-mounted, gatling gun, can fire 70 rounds of armor-piercing rounds per minute. There are a number of active A-10s stationed at Davis-Monthan AFB.
