I will never forget the scores of B-52s and scout helicopters that seemed to go on forever.

It was freaking incredible...

That Boneyard sounds like stuff for a future boys trip!

You can actually buy a Chernobyle sightseeing now, includes a full radioactive scan and a required "no responsibility" form!
Great way to get a glow and tan in the winter.
