Cool $Billion - As Close As I Could Get!

Well, the other day I posted a photo of Pinal AirPark...actually a photo of the mountains & the sunset - with Pinal AirPark part of the foreground.  Don't have a big ol' zoom on my little Kodak to really get the planes close-up.

Readers asked me to get better photos of the mothballed passenger airliners (plus I felt a little guilty - just a little), so I went by the entrance on my way out elsewhere to get a nice shot to share.  The guard at the gate told me that photos weren't allowed!  Hmm...sounds pretty stupid to me...(my first instinct was to laugh & say, "Whatever" but even rent-a-cops have guns sometimes - and not much of a sense of humor most of the time).

Today I happened to have a little time on my way back from Maricopa, AZ - so I went just past the entrance, pulled over by a field & took this shot.  Best I can do folks - hope it helps satisfy that craving! LOL

Now THERE's that "Cool $Billion or More" I promised ya!

Wanna See A Cool $Billion or More?

Scenic view of clouds, mountains & Pinal Airpark - northwest of Tucson, Arizona

Just to the west of I-10 as you are heading north from Tucson towards Phoenix...a smidgen past the town of Marana, is Pinal Airpark.  Home to hundreds of passenger airliners that are either waiting to be recalled into service or stripped down and their parts recycled.

This may well be one of the most valuable junkyards on the planet!

It isn't a sight one expects while motoring along the highway, enjoying the desert scenery.  Just a couple of miles north is a new home development called Red Rock that is doing pretty well.  There's a skateboard park, water park & ball fields in place, even a new school...and a planned commercial strip along with freeway access.

I took this shot from across I-10 while coming back from shooting video & photos of a home on 5 acres when I thought that a glimpse of the clouds & mountains with a couple of billion dollars worth of aircraft might be interesting to readers of my world - enjoy!

Should you be interested in an affordable home in Red Rock or another area in the Tucson Metro area, please feel free to call, email, text or tweet me!  I'm TucsonKent, your real estate agent who will go the extra mile...or 50.
