Think you'll find its Pinal Airpark, Marana. The Airliners I think are the old Northwest (NWA) stuff B747's, DC10's and smaller A/C. The others stuff was probably the STARSHIPS they were all taken to here when they were grounded, sad really a good looking A/C.

yes you are right, I overflew this place in a cessna a few years ago. The photo shows withdrawn and stored DC10s LIO11s 747s DC9s and the Starships. plus loads of Beech 1900s.

This is just one of the many storage areas in the USA. Another one is at Mojave.

I believe the airfield is owned by Evergreen and they do 747 work here including the Nasa shuttle transporter.

Another Storage area is Victorville in California. Also at Pinal are the US Army with AH64 training, the airfield is indeed run by Evergreen.
