## Description

Missile components and aerospace parts move quietly through Tucson International: RTX's missile business is headquartered next door, Bombardier runs a service centre on the field, and the co-located Morris base trains Air National Guard F-16 crews. Arizona's second-busiest airport handles around four million passengers a year, with FedEx operating a dedicated cargo station alongside belly capacity from the major US carriers. Interstate 19 puts the Mexican border at Nogales an hour away, while I-10, Union Pacific's Sunset Route and the bonded Port of Tucson intermodal terminal tie the city into both coasts. Heavy volumes still route via Phoenix Sky Harbor, two hours up the road. For a detour worth taking: Pinal Airpark, the desert boneyard where retired widebodies await their fate, sits thirty minutes northwest.
