Aviaparkovka in Mojave (18 photos)

Mental Floss magazine journalist Ransom Riggs (Ransom Riggs) visited the graveyard of lost ships in the giant parking lot for planes in the Mojave Desert (Mojave Desert).
Until recently, September 11, 2001 the airfield was closed to civilians.
The official name of this place Aerokosmoport Mojave (Mojave Air and Spaceport), and it is not an official last refuge of aircraft.
The airport is living an active life, there is a summer school and then create the first spacecraft (Space Ship One), and was made the first private space flight in 2004.
But one of the functions of the aerodrome - a giant car park.
There leave the plane as the major airlines, corporations, and individuals. Some ships are here forever.
Many airplanes are used here as donor parts for their brethren.
