Peter Lik’s iconic views of America’s varied
landscapes are widely published and instantly
recognizable. Always exploring new ways
of depicting nature, Peter closely monitors
the weather and tests new and sometimes
unproven technology, all while producing
landscape images that capture both pristine
beaches and ragged river canyons with
equal force and brilliance. The Arizona
Aircraft Boneyard is another chapter in
Peter’s relentless pursuit of original and often
inaccessible subject matter to share with his
legions of fans and collectors.

PETER LIK PREFACE
It was such a
privilege and an
honor to actually
shoot here — I was
blown away!
After I negotiated with the United States Air Force for over
a year, Colonel Patrick T Kumashiro, Commander of the
309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group,
granted me access to their aircraft and missile storage
and maintenance facility in Tucson, Arizona. It was a
dream come true! AMARG is a controlled-access site,
and is absolutely off-limits to anyone not employed there
as well as anyone lacking proper clearance — it’s no
joke! The legendary “Boneyard” takes care of well over
4,000 aircraft making it a landscape unlike any other
place on earth! It was such a privilege and an honor to
actually shoot here — I was blown away (nearly literally)!
The scene is unreal!

PETER LIK
THE PHOTOGRAPHER
Peter Lik’s panoramic landscape images of the
Arizona Aircraft Boneyard reveal the artistic
passion behind his search for the true essence
of photography. His pictures vividly honor the
storied tradition of aviation history through his
use of natural color, sense of magnitude and
depiction of moody isolation. Peter combines
his love of the environment with a dedicated
desire to record what he sees for the pleasure
of others. Commercial and military aircrafts,
through his eyes, take us on a journey
through history and a celebration of the art of
photography.
Peter’s spectacular personal style is both
technically perfect and aesthetically striking
in its portrayal of the Boneyard’s unique
landscape, regarded by purists as the
premiere treasure trove of aviation.
