Resting Birds

Not far from Exit 270 – under a hot desert sun rests the war birds of another era – they sit majestically as symbols of wars that seem to never end.  Here they sit with the dusty desert sands blowing around them lit by a blazing sun.   The only shade from the sun can be found under their winds, which seem to stretch outward as if they are preparing for flight.  Their engines are long silent, but if you listen closely you can almost imagine the roar of their engines as they prepare to rush down the tarmac for another mission.
