Davis Monthan Air Force Base is located in Southeast Tucson near the airport. The base is well known for the "graveyard," or boneyard, as well as the Pima Air Show and Museum in close proximity to the installation. The movie Con Air starring actor Nicholas Cage had several parts of the movie filmed at the Davis Monthan Air Force Base Graveyard annex, which store military aircraft hulls and parts for use in aviation restoration and for aircraft part sales to other nations. Davis Monthan provides command and control, training, and logistical support for many of the C-130 aircraft in the Air Force and US Army inventory. Fixed wing aircraft including "fast mover" aviation aircraft also conduct training out of Davis Monthan AFB and frequently conduct training and landing at the Sierra Vista airport, which is adjacent to another one of our short term housing locations featuring Fort Huachuca Lodging at the nearby Army post.
