If you want to see such a fleet of grounded planes in person, it's worth going to Tucson to visit Pima and take a tour of the Boneyard at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. Pima is a normal museum admittance but the on-base bus tour requires preregistration and a background check.

For now since we can't travel, I definitely recommend taking a look in google maps satellite view:

In the SE corner of the base you can see long range nuclear bombers with their tails and wings clipped, for all the world to see.

That's amazing, thank you. Putting the location code 549R+27 into Google Earth also gives an interesting view.
That's wild. Looks like just a bunch of plane icons on a map at first glance.
