Description: Airplane graveyards, also known as aircraft boneyards, are large storage areas where retired or decommissioned aircraft are parked. These facilities are usually located in dry, desert regions such as Arizona, where low humidity helps preserve the metal structures of the planes and slows down corrosion. Some of these aircraft may be stored temporarily, waiting to be resold or returned to service, while others are permanently retired and left to deteriorate or be dismantled. One of the major functions of airplane graveyards is the recovery of spare parts. Aircraft that are no longer in use still contain valuable components such as engines, landing gear, electronics, and cockpit instruments. These parts can be carefully removed, refurbished if necessary, and reused in other aircraft that are still in operation. This practice is a cost-effective way for airlines and maintenance companies to access hard-to-find parts, especially for older models no longer in production. Over time, as aircraft are stripped of usable parts, what remains is often recycled. Metal from the fuselage and wings can be melted down and repurposed. Thus, airplane graveyards not only serve as final resting places for aviation history but also play a practical and economic role in sustaining the aviation industry.
