Planes in the US desert.

Recommended Posts

I just happen to browse airliners.net & I saw a no. of Asian airlines in the US desert.Catay Pacific, SQ, Japan,Eva, Dragon. It's due to the economic recession.

 

They are still new & I wonder who owns the planes now? Is it still under the respective airline or belongs to the logistics company that stores the plane.

To protect the aircraft fuselage from corrosion or something. Desert, being hot and dry is the perfect place for aircraft storage.

And I think the main reason is for economic purpose?

Remember, park at normal airport will cost you the parking fees...a the desert, maybe no fees at all...

It is more likely that they are under the control of the lessors. Companies which manage the airports usually provide storage services but aren't the actual owners of the aircraft.

 

That is Mojave I guess? The graveyard for aircraft.

No SC Chow, it is actually Victorville, in California's Desert.

 

Best regards.

Better turn it into a restaurant.

 

Or just set it up as an icon for all the airports entrance.

 

Turn it into a classroom or playground for the children

You want to go all the way to some remote desert location just to have a meal (or two) ?

Or send the kids there to such unforgiving conditions ?

:D
