It's Davis Monthan AFB, near Tuscon Arizona. The "Boneyard" (Aircraft storage facility) is a huge expanse of desert land where aircraft are stored and destroyed. The old B-52's are destroyed here using a guillotine (a concrete slab on a crane) so that the Russians can see on satellite (nuclear downsizing). Other aircraft are kept in a serviceable (fully repaired) state in case of emergency or to sell to other nations (hundreds of F-4's mainly!). They also have a closed-off corner for the vietnam era transports thet deployed agent orange chemicals in the jungles, as these are still toxic.
I looked inside a B1-B Lancer there. Most of the Avionics are stripped out and the windscreen is blacked out now.
