Phantom Orbit
Another October 1996 view of AMARC, the giant storage area located in the Arizona desert near Tucson
Back then it was a predominance of stored F-4 Phantoms
The areas top right and foreground are all F-4's bar (in the upper left) a few F-14 Tomcats and some F-15 Eagles
The F-4's were mostly destined to be converted to QF-4's as aerial targets used in Live Missile Testing and Practice firing
Middle right are several C-130 Hercules with towards the top middle are a fleet of P-3 Orions
At the very top left is part of the arrivals area:

where aircraft are processed prior to storage
Last but not least is 'Celebrity Row' which is just right of centre where one example of every type in the then current inventory is displayed
Today's Lockdown challenge is:
I can make out 35 different types in Celebrity Row.......can you?
Main types will do and I must admit a couple are so small, if anyone gets more than 30 I'll be impressed. For clarity there are 16 in the first section, 15 across the other side of the road in the same line then back opposite the first 16, another 4 facing them)
