Aircraft Boneyard

Aircraft Boneyard:
The Mojave airport, located in the desert region of the South-western United States is known for its air racing, flight testing and cutting edge space flight development. However it is perhaps most famous as an aircraft heavy maintenance and storage area. Airlines rent land there by the acre. The dry air reduces corrosion and the space is relatively cheap. Some aircraft will be brought back into active service one day, whereas others are scrapped and used for spare parts. Ransom Riggs at Mental Floss gained access to this area known as the aircraft graveyard or boneyard.
