Don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but here goes. Just read on the Pima Air Museum site that the Air Force has stopped tours of the boneyard "indefinately". Anyone know why?

According to the Pima site

"NOTICE: Due to changes in U.S. Air Force security considerations, the offsite bus tours of the 309th AMARG (AKA “The Boneyard”) have permanently ended."

https://pimaair.org/plan-your-visit/available-tours/

I check the AMARG facebook page, and there is not mention of it or why.

Probably a manpower issue rather than anything security or threat related.

The AMC base near me seems to be using more civilian (contract?) SF people.
