What Happened Inside the Airplane Graveyard
I visited Mojave, California which is a famous airplane graveyard in the desert. More than 100 planes are stored here and it is end of the line for most planes that arrive in the graveyard. I went inside an ex Thai Airways B747400 to take a look at the interior, much to my surprise the interior had been kept intact. Then I step inside an exQantas B747 and found my way to walk on the 747 wing I could almost touch the winglet Then we drove to Victorville to meet up with an airplane scraper Huy, Huy gave us a tour and explained how they tear down airplanes using an excavator. The useful parts, such as the engines, the avionics and the interior, are usually stripped out for sale. We went inside an ex United B747400 and ex Singapore, VIM B777200 to take a look. Talaat Captan, owner of Air Hollywood, and Anthony Toth, coowner of the Pan Am Experience, appear in this video as tour guides of the airplane graveyard storage.
