Here’s a bit of trivia: N330AU, the FEDEx DC10 that was intact (about halfway in the vid) has since been converted to the Orbis flying eye surgery hospital.
Gil Gil i think its a restricted area.. but if you try negociate by sayin its to make a visit take pictures and do a video for your youtube channel you might get in
Of course you can visit the place outside the airport but Victorville is not exactly safe! Without security personnel it is not recommended to photograph or do similar things out there. There are currently many homeless people and armed robbers lurking there. I would recommend The Mojave Boneyard.
Wat een prachtige vidro!! Al vaak gezegd maar is toch wel een beetje.. tragisch denk ik dan al die trijets. Wat mij wel op viel is 1:47, in de achtergrond met de paarse staart zie je een L1011. Volgens mij is dat N91011, die nog luchtwaardig is en op een dag wordt overgevlogen naar Kansas. Mooie beelden, bedankt voor het uploaden! Lijkt er op dat je je wel vermaakt hebt in the US. :-)
Your first Air New Zealand! Sad though.. I saw photos of this field. It just hurts seeing all these beauties left for scrap, with their paint taken off, engines removed, flaps removed, and so on.. Really sad. Appropriate music too. Take your tripod next time though, haha! Liked, buddy!
Planes must be retired when they reach their rated number of pressurized cycles or their maximum flying hours, otherwise old planes would be falling apart in flight. Nothing sad about this. Rebuilding them cost more than they are worth, and they're not like cars that can be run until they fail.
FedEx could really speed up Their super slow shipping, it they still used a few of Thier planes there! But it's sad to see the 727's just sitting there
I wonder how much these would be worth? If there not gonna get scrapped and their just gonna sit their while they can still operate people should be aloud to buy them. I would buy one.
an 147 ...there were more than two! ....and the two 767 birds VH-OGG (Covered by 60 Minutes all about its retirement-since converted for cargo use with an Israeli carrier) and VH-OGH...I would suggest in this footage there were 6 or 7 QF 744’s...
it's not sad it's actually a good thing they need to be recycled air frames suffer metal fatigue and eventually will fail it's a good thing regulations stay on top of that air carriers would use them till they fell out the sky do you think any one of those carriers like seeing those million dollar investments setting there it's not by choice and I think you could take up that argument with a woman who lost her life last week on a southwest flight
Makes you wanna cry~ the places they've been, the lives of the people who flew in them~ the stories they could tell.
So sad to see all these airplanes abandoned. Must be really cool to visit there, and see such an abundance of classic airplanes! Nice video!
+Horizon Productions SFL Thanks mate!
Real nostalgic and a bit sad video seeing all those beauties out of duty.But everything has a limit in life.Nice memory video.
+Yannis Moutafis Thanks mate!
Just sadness, like seeing the old and disabled heroes!
if there gonna be scrapped, cant i have one???
Looking at this makes me sad... But knowing they were once gracing the skies is amazing! Great video!
+CogAviation Thanks mate!
Excellent video. Surprising how many Fed Ex there were. Liked! Graveyards for airplanes are a little sad.
Thanks mate!!
Poor Air New Zealand 747 :(. I hate seeing planes like this
+Matt Gibby Yes me to, I like it when they are flying!
Poor KLM MD-11's! They we're the last PAX MD-11's ever. I heard that they are now all gone
Jesus christ, When did British Airways throw away half there fleet
That's really cool, must have been such an interesting and eerie place to visit!
+TheHDAviation It was really awesome to visit! But also a little bit sad!
May they rest in peace.
lol they aren't dead they are sleeping start one up with ease only need some oiling or fuel
It's quite sad to see all those aircraft being stored there! Great footage mate, thanks for sharing!
+Hamburg Videos HD Thank you mate!
That's interesting! It's a shame to see so many abandoned aircraft there though!
Thanks!
Wow,so many planes!Very interesting to see this.LIKE!Greetings!
+inselvideo Thank you mate!
Most of the aircraft are well preserve and Ready to fly
Here’s a bit of trivia: N330AU, the FEDEx DC10 that was intact (about halfway in the vid) has since been converted to the Orbis flying eye surgery hospital.
Look at all those nice airplanes I sure wish I could have one
Did I see a couple 777's? Hell no.
I live about 7 minutes away from Victorville and have never seen this! Lol Definitely gonna visit it
Great Video bud, would rather see these than the 787s.
+scotrail82 Thanks mate!
Awesome video! Must be incredible to see this graveyard...
Thanks mate! It was an amazing experience!
Great place to visit. I went right to the end of the runway and got some good shots of the BA and United 747's.
Great video! Sad to see these beautiful aircraft being distroyed.
+EDDHspotter Thanks mate!
we make 'em and we take 'em back too! :D so much history lies still and dormant here....
+Jay's O'HareAviation Plane Spotting HD YEs!
Puh, mixed emotions. Interesting and sad at the same time. Great video Jelmer. :-( :-)
+flybyplane Thank you mate!
Great video, very sad to see them abandoned. Especially the Qantas birds, at least the Qantas aircraft can live on if someone buys them. Liked!
+Dat Plane Guy Thanks mate!
I just imagine that all the planes in this graveyard are talking to each other about old stories of their earlier flights......
SO SAD to see all these classic and nice aircrafts there :'(
Nice filming, nice editing :)
+Aviation Spotting Frankfurt Thanks mate!
The BA 744s have 120000 hrs on them. Lufthansa has an MD11 they retired with almost 140000 hrs. These big birds are worn out.
Stunning video mate, I will definitely be making a trip there when I head out to Phoenix in a years time!
+HDTokyoAviation Thanks mate!
Quite sad so see so many aircraft end up that way.
+bananamanuk yes!
Such a sad site when you see what was once the largest passenger the 747 400 now in scrap yards
Yes, you are absolutely right my friend.
is it possible to visit the place (and walk around the aircrafts)?
Gil Gil i think its a restricted area.. but if you try negociate by sayin its to make a visit take pictures and do a video for your youtube channel you might get in
Gablo Officiel no
Of course you can visit the place outside the airport but Victorville is not exactly safe! Without security personnel it is not recommended to photograph or do similar things out there. There are currently many homeless people and armed robbers lurking there. I would recommend The Mojave Boneyard.
so sad to see that.i am aeroplane lover and have traveled alot of times around the world in every type plane upto 380-800 airbus
Where Aviation Ends :(. Apart om die Martinair 767 te zien.
+TheYottaTube Yes! Dat was idd apart om te zien!
Wat een prachtige vidro!! Al vaak gezegd maar is toch wel een beetje.. tragisch denk ik dan al die trijets. Wat mij wel op viel is 1:47, in de achtergrond met de paarse staart zie je een L1011.

+FlyingDutchMan225 Heel erg bedankt man!! Ik heb me heel erg vermaakt in de US!
Super zonde van al die mooie kisten, wel een gave video! Wat was de reg van de ETH MD-11 aan het eind?
+mylosairplanefan Het is idd super zonde! ET-AND
+jelmerpilotHD Noo! Dat is de enige Ethiopian MD-11 die ik ooit vliegend heb gefilmd, op Luik!
Hij was 2 dagen eerder geland daar! Het is ook mijn enige!
A lot of those planes are still intact and can still be flown.
Its the land of Fedex. Great captures and big thanks for your hard work and for sharing!
+Planes123 Yes it it! Thanks mate and your welcome I love it to make some awesome video's for you guy's!
Your first Air New Zealand! Sad though.. I saw photos of this field. It just hurts seeing all these beauties left for scrap, with their paint taken off, engines removed, flaps removed, and so on.. Really sad. Appropriate music too. Take your tripod next time though, haha!
Liked, buddy!
Thanks mate! It was really sad to see All this awesome planes! Ja klopt, paste alleen niet meer in mijn koffer
+jelmerpilotHD Always make your camera and tripod the first thing to pack as a plane spotter, haha! :P
+Aviation NLNZ yeah that's right
This used to be George AFB I lived their for nine yrs when all you saw were F4 jet air craft. Seem odd to see big planes their now.

All the DC-10's, MD-11's and MD-10's. A Shame! It's so sad.
+Videospotter (HamburgMobile) Yes!
I actually cried over this.
The music just makes this so sad.
I get so emotional over planes..
I'mseeing alot of DC-10's
Jacob Payag they became uneconomical both in terms of fuel efficiency and financial viability once the 60 minute rule on twinjets was abolished
the 400 are in good condition and can for years still flying
Gave video man!! Best triest om ze zo te zien. L I KE
+Reinout's Aviation Channel- Full HD Aviation videos Dank je man!
Tripod / monopod / shoulder rig / gimbal - check em out!!
RIP Airplane grave yard 😟😭😔➕
FedEx could really speed up Their super slow shipping, it they still used a few of Thier planes there!
But it's sad to see the 727's just sitting there
I wonder how much these would be worth? If there not gonna get scrapped and their just gonna sit their while they can still operate people should be aloud to buy them. I would buy one.
So sad to see those two ex-QANTAS 747-400s there.
an 147 ...there were more than two! ....and the two 767 birds VH-OGG (Covered by 60 Minutes all about its retirement-since converted for cargo use with an Israeli carrier) and VH-OGH...I would suggest in this footage there were 6 or 7 QF 744’s...
Sad :(
Yes
Why do planes have to retire :(
What a sad video
I'll buy the 747s and 727's
so sad 💔😔
m8 they can still be used
I'm crying
Martinair 767's 😭
i just want one
same
Is Fedex going out of business? So many of their planes.
can I have one !? 😢
Mayumi Ikenaga 🚄
Iris airways buys old junkyard airplanes turns them to new
Cattam air buys the newest models from Boeing and Airbus
it's not sad it's actually a good thing they need to be recycled air frames suffer metal fatigue and eventually will fail it's a good thing regulations stay on top of that air carriers would use them till they fell out the sky do you think any one of those carriers like seeing those million dollar investments setting there it's not by choice and I think you could take up that argument with a woman who lost her life last week on a southwest flight
Rip
Is FedEx going out of business? Too many of their jets.
Carl Kay ok here’s the thing, a lot of these fedex planes are being stored, so one day they will enter service.
Varig 737
I Can't wait to see so Many B787's Crap)Liners Land Here this is where they Belong in the Scrap)Yard
