Pinal Airpark Airliner Boneyard | DRIVE-Thru 

The hulls represent many millions of passengers and tons of freight safely delivered. What incredible feats of engineering!

I want tot cry, I’m a retired airline pilot, retire early for medical reasons. It makes me terribly sad to see the Delta (once Northwest 747’s) and the 757’s being scrapped. I recognized the tail number on several of the 757’s.... :(. Billions and billions of $$$$ and billions of safely carried passengers in these relatively young aircraft.

One of the best videos I've seen. No irritating background music, or annoying narrating. You let the video speak for itself. I loved looking up some some of the Registration number on some of these 747's. One is almost 48 years old.

Sad to see so many 747s. It was truly the queen of the skies.

Thanks you for posting this sad, magnificent, respectful and historic video. All these aircraft have stories to tell ; the places that they flew, the passengers they carried, the aircrews and engineers that flew and maintained them. They have been part of peoples lives and as such, absorb a little bit of the spirit of everyone involved with them, just like ships and locomotives. Sad to see but the parts from these airframes will keep their brethren flying for a while longer. So much history in one place. My particular favourite aircraft is the B757, so it was very poignant to see the ex-Delta examples here.

STAY OF MY LOVELY 757’S ITS HARDBREAKING!😦

Wow. So many good airplanes ! Great video.

Wonderful & sentimental to see tho old all-white livery Douglas amphibs that use to land in Miami Harbour (Florida) and take passengers back and forth between there and the Bahamas in the 1980s (when I saw them land and take off like oversize swans) and early 1990s. Wow. Thank you.

Love seeing that some of these planes are back in the air after doing a reg search!

Nice work! Certainly the best airliner graveyard video I've seen on RU-vid. Would be interesting to get some commentary and even video of how these places operate. Interesting to see them landing one of those 74s, processing it for storage or retirement and towing it into position.

GREAT VIDEO , IS THE BEST.

Sad to see so many 747 abandoned, I am thinking here how many passengers each of these airplanes took and together, dreams, disappointments, joys, hopes ..., is an aircraft with 50 years of debut, whether or not it is already part of modern history. of civilization.

Very nice video man keep doing that.

VMC, awesome video!! Lot's of history at that airport. Thanks, for sharing.

I really liked the video, thanks!

Even in 2016, I’m amazed that Continental MD80 was still mostly in one piece.

Very well done video no music no talking almost like paying your respects to The Lost Ones it's sad seeing the beauty of the Skies 747 sitting there, and some look like they are there for dry storage to be used again, thank you for the professional video

Fantastic video!

Good video most of the 737s are in perfect condition

I think it is a little sad to see these beautiful planes here, but everything gets old. I really miss the 747s. No other plane is quite as majestic and beautiful.

OMG B747-132 AT 11:29 WAS USED BY PAN AM IT'S 47.2 YEARS OLD BUT IN SUPER GOOD SHAPE

VMCAV, awesome video. It brings a tear to my eye to see all those beautiful planes out there never to fly again. How did you get the sweet tour. Nice work!

Wow... This place is perfect for the 737 max fleet. 😘😘😘

Very cool!

13:45 I’ll miss this plane very much, lots of great memories from them!

Great video! So much history here. It's very sad and hard to see all these great planes like this. 15:38 is the Boeing Seattle Seahawks 747-8.

wow so many 747-400!!!

Enjoyed want to visit Here

Planes are one of a few machines that have a soul. It’s sad to see them like this.

Amazing movie !! :-)

Thanks for the vid ! But sad to see

Some are still young. Wow so sad. Like that N220EC at 4:15. Was only 12yrs old.

great work

Nice video. In the 1950s my step father was a civilian flight instructor here when this site was a civilian flight school for the USAF. In 1979 The Tucson Radio Control Club held a "Winter Nationals" for model airplanes. I participated in the RC Precision Aerobatic event and took some 8 mm silent film shoots then. I have that film on RU-vid at with the search title: "1979 Tucson Winter NATS & Pima Air Museum" if you are interested. The last time I was here was in the 1990s and entry was restricted.

Ansett 747-300 12:55 still one left with their livery

Wow I had no idea some many 757s are at the end of their lives. So sad to see. Also the DL 747s. Great video!!!

Where is the TWA boeing 747? And is there any chance ti buy parts for a homecockpit?

We can start our airline pick aircraft's from here

Por favor ,, mostrar interior de los boings ,, gracias

10:58 😔My heart is dying... I flew on that beast when I was a child😭😢

There are also the old Grumman mallards of Chalk's ocean airways.

Awesome video! I didn’t even know some of those airlines existed! I saw lots of dc 10’s and 767s! I’m gonna be a pilot when I grow up!

I probably flew on every one of those CHALKS Sea Planes back and forth from Miami and Ft Lauderdale to The Bahamas. Even the one that went down at Government Cut in Miami. Took many flights out of Watson Island at The Port Of Miami to The Bahamas. That was a shame. It was a horrible loss of life 20 souls and it killed Chalks Airlines. Just sad. At the time Chalks was the longest serving Airline in the world as it started in 1917. The title now belongs to KLM.

This is an insane debacle; letting them pile all these aircraft up. They take the engines out and leave them sitting, each one is a potential electrical plant in a remote country. The bodies, cut in sections and turned up right houses for homeless people. No recycling here. There is much more profit in the airline industry than we ever dreamed! DC-3's from the 30's are still flying.

cool

Thanks for sharing this! I know this will sound corny, but I've always wished I could work at a place like this, maybe as security or something. My father was a former pilot and one of my siblings was a flight attendant while another worked as a ground crew in cargo, so we are sort of an aviation family. I'm not in aviation but am a teacher. Nonetheless, I feel old planes like these are so majestic, even in their most skeletal moments and they should still be treated with some respect. If I had the funding wherewithal, I'd put everyone one of these into a big museum, or convert many of the clustered area of more intact planes into private homes for alternative living. Are these facilities open to the public to drive through? Or must one be employed there? This is such great footage. Echoing those below, there's no need for music or narration. These big birds have their own stories and perhaps we can sense and imagine them during their epic days of flight.

12:51....is that an Ansett 747 "Spaceship"?? :o

Very very sad to see those beautifull aircraft will scrap...

I want to go to Mojave California (KMHV) to visit the 747‘s from atlasAir and southern Air.

Hard to see 😭😭

Sad to see then there, but everything has a lifetime and these aircraft have reached theirs.

Went there today really curious after hearing about this place. How did you get in? It was almost like torture seeing so many amazing planes so close, but not being able to go in.

The 747-8 in the Seahawks livery!

Just asking, how were you able to get a full tour of the graveyard? I was only able to go up to the 6 747’s in the middle.

Spare parts for 747s seem to be easy to come by.

My heart almost stopped after seeing 3 brand new 747-8 already seeing the end of its life

I honestly don't know, but half of these planes actually look ready to fly.

How did you drive around out there ? Special permission ?

They might have some MAX parked there by now.

So is that the National 747 that crashed a few years ago in Afganistan? This video was 2016 and the crash around 2018 or so..

What is the registration of the GOL aircrafts stored here?

question can you buy a plane of the boneyards?

how were you able to drive around

Sad sight. Suppose they can’t fly forever 🇬🇧

What actually happens to these aircraft once they land here ? Are they stripped down and sold off as spare parts ?

theres one 747-8 is that aircraft will be Boeing VC-25B ?

The Chalk Airways Grumman Albatrosses were interesting! 👍

747-8 da Lufthansa já encostado

is this a boneyard or a storage facility for aircraft on moth ball ?

Well the 1st a380 will call this place home this year... not very sad about it either. It was set up for failure from 1999

At 15:32, that 747 is a 747-8F, RC537, and I have many hours of flight testing on her. She was the Seahawks 747 that flew around the Seattle area in 2014. The plane is now flying for Qatar Airways as a freighter.

SAVE THEM ALL PLEASE. so many, such a shame. Surely updating the cockpit and upgrading the engines would give them more life, I know that there is a limit on the airframe , but years ago, they use to re-skin and in some cases re-frame parts of the aircraft.

4:51 LV-ALJ 747-400 ex Aerolineas Argentinas

Oh my God, 1:20 is that a Korean Air B747??? I must've flown in that if that is a Korean Air 747(I'm South Korean, of course!)

Are there public tours? Contact info please.

Grumman albatrosses?

At 12:44 the white AC on the right looks like the forward part of a Boeing 787.

11:44 the 94th 747 ever built delivered to delta in 1970. Sadly now scrapped.

Kind of sad seeing all those great aircraft sitting there....

I never knew a bunch of 747s could make me so sad

On 15:55 there was a new Boeing 747-8.you can tell by the window's on the hump

This gets so sad to see them sitting there, if i were allowed to id take all a delta md80 or a allegiant md80....this is so heartbreaking to see this

Dc-10 VarigLog

6:17 ship 624...... breaks my heart. I did the acceptance check on that one

Surprising to see a 747-100F Edit: it is at 11:35

15:31 a seattle skyhawks 747-8?

Always wondered where those old Chalks Douglas seaplanes disappeared to! Thank you. "Mystery" solved. lol

Are the y Catalinas at 18:20?

in minute 15:54 is a 748??? what Happened??

The home of the last TWA 747 which should be preserved.

On 11:32 there was a old Boeing 747-400 and it was operated by evergreen airlines

How much is the retired Boeing a 380?
