To whom it may concern:
I am a CH-46E pilot with MAWTS-1 in Yuma, AZ. This coming Wednesday we will be flying the first phrog to the Davis Mothan bone yard in Tuscon. Thought you guys might be interested. I'll get the BUNO and some more info if you are interested. You can email me at chrisotpher.abraham@usmc.mil or call me at (928) 269-3469. Thanks

Surely you don't mean the 1st 46 to the boneyard? I remember taking A bunch (8-10) of 46's to Davis-Monthan back in '69.

HMM-T just sent a 46E to the bone yard last month as well. I can post up the BUNO if interested.
Phrogs in AZ
Here is a Google Earth view of 5 Phrogs in mothballs at Davis Monthan

The first CH-46 into Davis Monthan was a CH-46A (152501) on the 13th of July 1971. Most were stored for a while before heading to NARF Cherry Point for reworking and RTS.
