Gray Ghosts takes place at a remote air base near Tucson, Arizona. Although the base supports active flying units, it is also the resting place of hundreds of aging surplus airplanes that served in prior wars. The planes are too old to fly, yet too valuable to destroy. Sitting on the desert floor, the warplanes rest in a cemetery called the Boneyards. Pilots occasionally drive by to pay their respects. This evening, the base is also the site of a Marine reunion. Will Martin, the story's main character, mysteriously appears on the morning of the reunion. Years ago, Will flew A-6 Intruders. Tonight, he will fly them again. Through past remembrances, Gray Ghosts follows Will through exciting combat action in Vietnam, the Gulf of Sidra, and Iraq. Between conflicts, Will and his fellow Marines travel the world to engage in one outrageously funny escapade after another. But most importantly, Gray Ghosts is a story of love and friendship. After being away for many years, Will meets his old partner again. With his friend's help, Will gets one chance to reaffirm his relationship with the woman he loves. The twist is in how their reunion transpires.
