Davis AFB Storage on Channel 4 ?

Is it just me thats notice recently that UK channel 4 as an intro to its ffeature films etc is using what appears to be clips of the storage area.

It does not last long but pans from Commercial airliners such as B747 and other jets,then onto some helicopters and you can then see military stuff such as C130 and what appears to be bottom left a c123 Provider and lots of old jet stuff.I am not sure but even possibly a B29 looked like it was at the edge of shot but it was an extremely brief time frame.

Anyone have any info is it current stuff or old footage they are using as there still seems to be some very interesting old stuff still in moth balls there ??.

Davis-Monthan AFB, home of AMARG (Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group) i.e. the military aircraft “Boneyard”, does not have civil aircraft (except for the remains of the civil fanjet-powered 707s bought to modify KC-135A into the KC-135E fleet in the 80s).

As noted, there are plenty of other storage areas around.
