Hard to get a pic that justifies the weirdness of it. Cool to see!
[CS, 05/08/2016]Two Fighter Jets in the Desert:- Address:
- S. Gila Bend Airport Rd, Gila Bend, AZ

Cool jets. I want one now.
[Mike, 05/01/2011]In the town of Gila Bend, just a couple miles north of The Spaceage Motel, you will find two fighter jets just sitting by the road behind a wire fence. The entrance sign to this "facility" stated that it is (was?) the Gila Bend Municipal Airport but the place honestly looked abandoned to me. The jets make for a nice break in the desert scenery and look fairly well kept.

Turns out that Gila Bend, AZ was not kidding. While snapping shots of the motel sign, one of the 5 came out and ran me off the property!

That seems like a great honor. Wonder if there's a waiting list.
