Many military aircraft, that have completed their service, spend retirement in the hot desert sun south of Tucson, AZ. I missed my chance to visit the airplane boneyard. It was closed for a holiday the day I showed up. More recently I discovered that it has been permanently closed to the public.

As I consider this painting I can hear an echo of an old song "Some boast of chariots, some of horses, but we boast in the name of him who rules heaven's forces..."
