Kinda sad.
A few years ago I was outside the fence watching C-141s being chopped up to be made into beer cans. The first airplane I ever worked on.

 Edit its interesting to see all the relatively good shape commercial planes. I hadn't thought about that the majors might be storing excess planes in case air travel booms again sometime soon. |

The cool thing about those, is that I'm sure you could buy anyone of them. The problem might be importing, and definitely the maintenance and just up front cost of getting it flying. If you could just have it shipped whole or in pieces, one of those jets would be an interesting lawn ornament  . |

AMARC is about 3 miles from my house here in tucson, my friends dad is a supervisor out there and we got to go on the tour that most don't know about, there is a TON of cool stuff out there, most notable to me were the A10 thunderbolts, F4 phantoms, and we got to see the area were they are chopping up the B52 bombers, that was sad.

I understand all of the history out there and the affection we all hold for those aircraft but why aren't they being recycled? There has got to be tons of copper and aluminum in those birds.

Pav They do....All of my knowledge of it is based on an hour show on the history channel, so take this with a grain of salt. There are various levels of storage there. Some are for immediate scrapping, some to pull parts as needed for current airframes, and others are essentially whole aircraft that are could be flown again if needed. The would only need a few months worth of work to get back to airworthiness. That was for the military planes anyway. Its probably the same for the commercial planes at the boneyard. |
