These old US airforce aircraft are retired from US military service... Most of them are fit to be restored and used, but the US military is more interested in new progressive designs that replace these.. Many are used for spare parts while others are refurbished to sell to foriegn airforces that cannot afford new aircraft or do not have the means to make their own...

They have F16 jet fighters which they use for parts and also to rebuild others for sale to foreign military.

They have some passenger and cargo aircraft that can be refurbished and sold to non military persons and organizations...

The amount of retired aircraft residing here in this one location, is more than the entire fleet of military aircraft in all of the countries in Africa.. And this does not include the many other locations in USA where retired and working aircraft reside..

I went to visit there Yesterday and took these photos.. I did not get photos of all the areas where they park aircraft.. This is less than half of what the base has in stock...
Some of the retired aircraft here are even more modern and advanced than what Nigerian airforce has in its active fleet.. Maybe Nigeria can purchase some of these after they are refurbished to good working order...
