Another "Grown-up Disneyland" for sure. An unlimited source of projects. Thank you.

That boneyard is sad, and beautiful at the same time.
Wow. What an amazing place. I can appreciate it in a couple of ways. (1) I am a retired warehouse manager, and also worked in a aircraft (new) spares warehouse, when I was part of the team rebuilding old airliners ( Vickers VC-10) into Royal Air Force military tanker aircraft, they had been sat on the ground for over 10 years as retired airliners, until conversion into tanker aircraft, so I can well appreciate the start to finish from a wrecked aircraft coming in the front door to the strip down and associated documentation to the spares going out the warehouse door to a new owner. I am also as my wife says an aircraft "freak" I have been for 50 years and she isn't changing that.
❤
Went to White Industries years ago. Bought a set of rudder
Peddles with toe brakes for a Cherokee 140. They packaged them up & flew back home. It was a great place to deal with.
As an A&P I was drooling all over my desk after watching this video. LOL
😆😁 See… it’s like an Aviation Disneyland! lol
N221ST failed to maintain proper airspeed during an icing event.While activating the de-ice boots (twice) the pilot stated he felt a shake in the tail section and lost pitch trim/control while descending and impacting a tree.....
Sounds like the pilot came out ok?
@Blaircraft.Engines Yes, I believe it stated minor injuries in the narrative.
I would spend all day searching tail numbers, reading about the aircraft and accidents or the last time they were in service.
As a GA pilot we routinely need parts for our older planes and these places are necessary. Unfortunately they are also expensive
Do you happen to know what model of AG plane that was in the video? I was super impressed of the size of fuselage structure. Also, I hear BAS is competitive in pricing.
@@Blaircraft.Engines didn’t pay that much attention to the AG plane, I was thinking parts for mine
Just think how much time and technology it takes to catalog and make these parts available. No matter what you need, there are probably some out there, Finding it when you need is the trick, a good amount of what you pay for when you buy the part is all that work that goes into helping you find it.
@@Blaircraft.Engines They said that the AG planes were AirTractors
BAS for sure has the most reasonably priced used parts.
For sure. They have competitive pricing, not good to just sit on parts!
Me bad... Glad you know what you are doing! Thanks for the response and doing the important business that you guys do.
That is a great well organized bone yard. Cuttios to the team for logging, tracking and putting parts where they can be accessed easily. I have been down that road before in the aerospace industry and refurbishing 40's and 50's tube radios. John a RC MODEL aircraft builder and flyer in Hayden Idaho. Home of the pappy boyington air museum. Great video.
What an Awesome vid thanks for the tour! useful load on a 340 is rough. With a full load you're not going to have the ability to top the tanks off. Seemed to be the gripe of most owners
Neat video. Glad that they gave you that kind of access but you could have put the location in the description. I have never heard of them until now. Thanks!
Yes. I should have. I’ll add more of their information in the description. Thanks! 👍
Nice video, I’m definitely gonna have to check these guys out next time I need a part.
Awesome group there and facility. 👍
This is an amazing outfit. Piolets dream.😅
Every well run parts bone yard has a Jenny. Doesn’t matter if it’s an auto parts, truck, aviation, small engine, Jenny makes the whole thing accessible to customers.
I recommend a 335 rather than a 340. The pressurization adds more complexity than needed. I had a 335 for years after my 310R. Loved it.
I’ll check them out more, thanks!
Message me if you want to discuss details. They only made them in 1980. There are a few different variations
Wish there was a place like this were i live. Would love to get a 172 skyhawk dash to build a home sim.
Wow! A very impressive operation!
Agreed!
I live in Odessa Mo. I drive past your outfit all the time. I’ve also seen the operation on Jimmy’s World.
Are you going to make it to Oshkosh? Jimmy will be doing a meet and greet on Monday at the BAS tent..
BAS Parts sales appear to be very, very, very organized. It reminds me of a Naval Aviation Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Department (AIMD). The bad parts arrival, repair, cataloging and re-distribution or canning process is pretty much exact. I would love to tour this organization in person just to take me back to an earlier happy place in my life. If I owned an aircraft maintenance facility this video would be mandatory viewing for all of my staff members. Thanks for taking the time to create, edit and publish this video . I can go on to mention how BAS is contributing to affordable aviation, aviation safety and the environment but I will stop here. .... No I'm not not. I subscribed to this channel and will be back for more. I'm going to search BAS for authentic aircraft parts to use on my flight sim as well.
Thanks for watching and your feedback!
Wow the fusalage cockpits would make my bed, simulator or coffine!😮lol And please no disasemble number 5 still alive! And do not tell your aircraft you have to take it to the A.M.E.! It might grow wings and fly! Thats like draging your dog to the vet!!!! Great place thanks for sharing....
Matt will take care of you! 😁 Call him up.
" All you have to do is put it together" LOL
You briefly touched on folks wanting parts for wall hangings and other non-flying purposes. I would be one of those people. But I wouldn't want to pay the 'aviation industry' price for something that no longer needs to meet aerospace standards. I wouldn't imagine a place like this would want to 'waste' very much time or space on parts that could no longer be used on an airplane (but still looked presentable).
I'd like to learn more detail about what they have to offer pertaining to my kind of interest.
I’ll let Clint know and have him give you some feedback on this. Thanks for the comment!
@@Blaircraft.Engines Awesome, thank you I appreciate it!
@@Blaircraft.Engines Those parts that are no longer certifiable would make great sim parts. A slightly twisted or bent cockpit would not be noticeable in a flight sim and will fly perfectly with a huge sense of realism.
My favorite place!
I always thought a place like Palm Springs but for Aircraft in the Desert.
Build custom homes inside, and a Factory down the road that make the interior's. Do the same things like horse ride, motorcycle ride, and enjoying the desert. I'd take a 747 and turn it into a 5 bedroom home.
With a Learjet for Mother-in-law.
If I was building a plane-based ground vehicle, I'd start with a Navion.
Lots of inside room for sure, plenty of space of passengers too.
All I can say is wow
19:05 - Wow, that's BE58 N6649D. About 6 or 7 years ago this Baron suffered I think a nose gear failure on landing. No one was hurt. Not sure if it flew again after the incident. Probably not as that's an expensive repair.
It's so sad to see the fuselage here in this state. Everything and everyone meets it's fate one way or another...
Very kool bro I need two 737 wings
Very Nice Video Sir Cheers 👍👍😇😇🙏🙏🍻🍻
Thank you!
Super cool 😅
Very cool. I'm a retired aircraft mechanic and I would consider coming out of retirement to work at this place. Just tearing a aircraft down for spare parts would be a wonderful job. Are they hiring? Great video Brother. Hawk out!!
I definitely wish I lived closer to their locations. 😎 Not sure if they’re hiring now but likely will in the future as they’re growing!
great vídeo
Thanks!
On February 2, 2021, about 1645 eastern daylight time, a Piper PA-46-350P, N221ST, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Leicester, Massachusetts. The commercial pilot and two passengers received minor injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
The pilot reported that the airplane was on approach to runway 11 at Worcester Regional Airport (ORH), Worcester, Massachusetts. During that time, “a little ice” began to build up on the wings and he activated the deicing system (boots) twice upon entering clouds. The elevator then began to shake and become ineffective. In an effort to avoid a stall, the pilot applied forward yoke control and the airplane contacted a tree and came to rest upright in the front yard of a residence about 3 miles from the runway 11 threshold.
Was this a PA-46 in the video? I didn’t take note of the N number…
@@Blaircraft.Engines Yes, and I got the accident report off Kathryn's Report. They are lucky to be alive.
All the game sim guys want to buy a front half cockpit!😂👍
They have plenty to choose from! 😁
In my business of repairing commercial aircraft parts the designation as “Incident related” was a deal stopper. How do you get around the process of selling crash or incident related parts?
At the end of the video I saw a fuselage of what looked like the middle of a jet airliner. What airplane was it from?
I wonder how they certificate the parts.
Obviously the history of the part is known. But then it needs an form 8130 or easa form 1 .
In Europa a crashed plane means crashed parts. Those parts must be certified by a overhaul company etc etc
That’s what I was wondering.
Not sure exactly how they inspect and tag parts, it's a great question. I'll have to ask Matt more about any tags/forms. However, they offer a 90 parts guarantee. Thanks for asking!
Great question, I'll have to ask more about that. However like I just mentioned in the previous comment they offer a 90 parts guarantee, which is pretty awesome!
Buying junk and selling it as serviceable can get you jail time! Even if you claim that is not what you are doing! www.justice.gov/usao-sdfl/pr/two-florida-residents-plead-guilty-conspiring-sell-and-export-aircraft-parts Don't buy recovered parts from a salvage yard unless they have a service tag issued by an FAA approved repair station. Junkers are interested in your wallet, not your safety.
You can self certify parts as a mechanic. Good thing this isn’t Europe
the Mirage appears to have crashed in a icing accident in Mass in Feb of '21...,3 souls on board all survived ..N221ST
you must do a radiation check on all analog aircraft instruments, even if they dont glow the radiation could be high, but the phosphors etc have aged and dont glow. Use a real geiger counter. I met a person who had aircraft parts and broken 50s/60s WW2 dials on his bench, he had no idea that his bench was so hot it needed decontamination and sadly he had terminal stomach cancer probably from ingesting particles. He went white with shick when I took out my portable geiger he had no idea.
Interesting. Haven’t thought of that before. They don’t have a lot of WW2 items, however they might have some.
But then they scrap the junk, probably not selling broken instruments at all.
I'd hate to do inventory in that place
Yeah… you’d have to really stay on top of it, the parts just keep coming.
Wow what a dream yard!!😂😂
Agreed… Wish I lived closer! 😄
The scope of logistics boggles me. What a massive undertaking going on daily.
A ton of team work in action and growing! I think Clint said 5 countries a day?!?
Do they keep a truck if somebody gets killed in one of these wracks?
PEÇAS BÔAS 👍👍 🇧🇷
Might suggest a good viable Cessna 140 for your Oshkosh venture.
They did have plenty of the 140s, that’d good size to work with. Thanks for the suggestion. 👍
Are there any Maicos out there?
I’m not familiar with the name/term?
If you make it to Oshkosh, be sure to stop and see the BAS team and the progress on the STOL-ish Clipper @ booth 207
That would be funnest job in the world
Agreed, I wish I lived closer!
Do they have logbooks for all of those?
Not sure about the Missouri location, but they do have logs for several at this boneyard.
There is a lot of fuselage for flight simulator entusiast.
One of the 195’s would be awesome for that. I’m sure they have one that wouldn’t be considered airworthy as a whole.
Do you have an webpage ? I look for an fuel servo!
The website information is in the description too www.baspartsales.com
@@Blaircraft.Engines Thanks for your reply! I sent an e-mail.
Hey Mat I’m trying to restore a 1959 C172 and I need a complete installment panel. Where do I start the process from you to see if you can help me out? Thanks in advance. Chris
Instrument panel, dam spell check
@@cptdlttlHey mate, I see he hasn’t responded to you. Check the description.
I’ll have someone follow up with you. Thanks for asking!
I used to have a 1958 straight tail 172, loved it!
Where is located this please?
Greeley, Colorado
@@Blaircraft.Engines thanks my friend
👉🏻👍🏻🌹🌹🌹❤️
Where is this place?
Greeley, Colorado. Their yard in Missouri is even bigger. I’ll add more of their information in the description as well. Thanks for asking!
This shop is located, on the field in Greeley, Colorado. (GXY). They have been there since I can remember. The name of the shop wasn’t even mentioned, which I think is pretty damn rude, considering they gave you hours of their time for your interview. They are affectionately known as “ Begals”, on the field.
I have been hangared out there for about 45 years now. Nice folks.
Who buys all the aluminum?That's not serviceable anymore
That Malibu isn’t for sure, mostly smaller parts of that one.
Save big bugs by buying somebody else's miscalculation.
Drink a shot every time he says everyone was in Missouri last week...
Yes… they travel a lot there 😁
Well... I am not seeing tags on the "wrecked parts" on your shelf... Just sayin! Tag the Sh%t!!!!!
I thought everything on the shelf had tags, what parts did you see without any? The first room of parts were waiting to be tagged.
Super views ❤️🙏
Hey! Can I get a price quote on the tumbleweed!?
Call Matt, I’m sure he’ll take care of you! 😆😁
