Aircraft Graveyards: Enough to make a Grown Pilot Cry!

[John.com]

We've all probably heard of aircraft graveyards, but these are enough to reduce a grown pilot to tears!!

Take a look HERE!

I mean, I just want one aerie . . . or maybe TWO!

If you want to zoom down on one of them using Google Earth to see what is standing out in the desert, here is the kmz-file for Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona:

On one of my trips to visit my boet, who lives in Arizona, we drove past and later flew over this aircraft "graveyard". It apparently serves two purposes. It is a dumping site for decommisioned aircraft and also, a storage (parking) site for excess airline aircraft. The climate in Arizona is very very dry and this is the ideal condition to store the aircraft. The decommisioned aircraft are used / sold for spares. The spares are also preserved better in these dry conditions.

So, don't be so sad....not all aircraft go there to die....some are just on holiday
