Plane Pr0n on a Winter’s Day

Ex Air Canada 767s

Old NWA DC9 hiding behind the AC 767s

Southwest 737 hiding

Awaiting their fate

747 Freighters

747s including some KLM ones

I had to go to Tehachapi for a doctor’s appointment today. On the way home I had to stop in Mojave. I take the Z612 along with me most of the time, now a days. With the hardware parked at Mojave Airport, it is good thing to do. One of those Ex Air Canada birds is the famous Gimli Glider. It made a dead stick landing at Gimli Manitoba when it ran out of fuel. Gimli is an old RCAF training field. The registration and details are at Airliners.net.

  • Cool stuff there, Glenn – I can always use more plane pr0n :) The other pics are cool, too :wink:

  • The first time I saw all the airliners in Mojave I was amazed. I had NO ideer there was a civilian trash-hauler boneyard, let alone one in Mojave.

    Buck,
    It was usually a conversion/testing place but the dry air proved to be a boon to the Airport/Spaceport. NWA/Delta is parking DC9-30/40 airframes here in the Red Tail colours. Southwest has four older 737-300s on the line behind the funny coloured 767s. There are some DC-10s in varied stages of disassembly next to Ex-KLM 747s.
    Not a major boneyard like Marana or Victorville but it does help the local economy in Mojave.
