AIRPLANE GRAVEYARD 1000s of planes

[Jolanta Zofia Nowak]

Someone told me it's sited out in Arizona because of the minimal rainfall and hence minimal deterioration ... no rust!!!

There is also one in west Texas. Same reason applies. Can't remember exactly where it is though. D**m getting old sucks.

I saw an article in yesterday's El Paso Times and meant to see if I could find the place and post a placemark.

Here's the El Paso Times article. Here's the posting on the Lost Destinations website.

I've spent 30 minutes going up and down Highway 20 (Alameda Ave) in GEarth and can't find this place. Anybody else want to hunt around and see if you can find it? All I know is that it that the honey farm mentioned in the newspaper article is in zip code 79838.

I might be able to drive out there on Thursday. If so, I can mark where it is, then come back to GEarth and post a placemark.

BTW, the owner doesn't like for it to be called an "Airplane Graveyard". From the El Paso Times:

"No such thing," its owner, Nolan Carter, says. "It's a salvage yard for airplane parts."
Because of a posting on an Internet site called Lost Destinations, the legend about El Paso's airplane graveyard keeps growing.
Carter, a retired pilot who owns the yard, has not seen the Web site that features his property. "I have no idea what they said about it. I'm not into the Internet," he said.

I guess I have found it.

Nolan Carter Aircraft & Parts in Fabens, TX. Just outside El Paso.

It looks like airplane parts around the building. Unfortunately in not very hi res.

Very good Sladys. Amazing that a guy in Denmark can find something 33.8 miles away from my house, and I missed it every time I looked.

But I agree, that one item does look like a plane w/o wings. I still might drive by Thursday morning.

[sladys]

I know the same problem.

Even here in little Denmark it sometimes isn't easy to find what you search. You know where, but you can't see it.

Especially when the image isn't that clear as elsewhere.

I saw some planes that I will love to have. Is there anyway to purchase some of these planes?
