That aerial photo you referenced is a military aircraft outdoor storage facility. The air in Tucson is so dry that there's virtually no ability for things to rust. I took a tour of that facility once -- it was fascinating riding in the bus between row afer row of moth-balled aircraft. There's a similar facility for commercial aircraft -- row after row of variously logo'd commercial aircraft.
Tucson is a place where people from around the world come to train to fly various aircraft. Given the vast expanse of desert, there's little problem with risking civilian populations if a plane were to crash. Also, there are sufficient mountains so various wind and air conditions can be experienced.
There ... there's your Tucson Chamber of Commerce message for the day!
