Aircraft boneyard is an American term for a storage area for aircraft that are retired from years of service or lack thereof. Most aircraft at boneyards are either kept for storage or turned into scrap metal. Deserts, such as those in the Southwestern United States, are good locations for boneyards since the dry conditions reduce corrosion.


For those who don't have Google Earth.

Some of them look like missiles too.

Josh,
I look forward to seeing your co-ordinates....

I wondered how you did the degree sign, and I see that you don't.
