Sadly it seems the Boneyard tours are no longer:

(They stopped at the onset of the pandemic and AFAIK never resumed.)

The museum is still well worth visiting, and driving around you can see some of the planes parked in the Boneyard. Davis-Monthan also puts on a pretty good airshow every couple years.

From what I can tell, the pandemic gave many government functions and bureaus carte-blanche to stop working while collecting the same paychecks.

The same sorta happened to Paul Allen’s fighter plane museum in Washington. His sister manages his estate now, and has been ruthless at liquidating all the assets he collected for the public good. It’s infuriating.
