Ramp mummies.

Here are some ramp mummies I've come across over the years on my US travels. Seems like every airport has a few. Please add any photos you might have.


Here's a rotting Aerostar at Corona (KAJO). Probably beyond saving at this point. She'd been dragged to this spot on flat tires when they relocated her for an event...


Extra sad to see as an Aerostar owner myself.


If I didn't know it was made out of aluminium, I'd say that looked like rust...


A tell tale sign of lost hydraulic pressure on the Aerostars is when the gear doors start sagging.


Mold and rot on the glare shield.


Birds have no regard for their own.


Here's a Bonanza at Twentynine Palms.


Here is an Aero Commander 520 that despite still being shiny after the previous owner polished her...


...hasn't flown in years. The whole interior is torn out.
