I recognized one of the Cheyenne II’s my first employer in aviation owned. N66847 was a great bird; incredibly reliable. She was sold for parts because a new pilot’s windshield couldn’t be purchased through Piper( at that time) and its engines(-28s) were nearly timed out.
I recognized one of the Cheyenne IIs the first company I worked for in aviation owned...N66847. She was sold for parts because she needed a pilot’s windshield ( unavailable through Piper at the time) and both engines(-28s) were coming up on overhaul. She was ten times the aircraft than the one was they bought to replace her (N803SW). We said the “SW” stood for solid waste. It was a horrible aircraft that was only worth her parts.
Seeing all these aircraft sitting there rotting saddens me, but the black and red Apache behind the King Airs at 0:56 made my heart sink deeper than ever.
These aircraft sitting there are doing a lot of good. There are a lot of really old aircraft still in use today safely because of salvage yards like this. One aircraft can help many.
I was a passenger in a Piper Cherokee 140 that crashed in June of 2000 on departure from 1MU4 (private grass strip south of Warrensburg, MO) that is resting in pieces at Whites.
There's some massive airline and government facilities in the southwest. Most of the boneyards tend to be in the Arizona/New Mexico/Nevada region as the desert climate is more conducive to preservation than wetter parts of the country. General aviation and bizjet facilities like this one tend to be smaller and more scattered around the nation. There are still tons of small GA planes that were built in the 60s that are still flown regularly. A lot of times you can still get parts from the manufacturers, or at least find new-old stock, but the prices are often ridiculous. Salvage can be cheaper by a factor of 10 or more.
@@delten-eleven1910 The Cessna boneyard is the sky. Seriously though, the small single-engine piston Cessnas are cheap to keep flying and there's always some flight school out there that could use another one.
Find an old airfield in your region. Go and look around, meet the people who work there or have a plane there. I learned to fly at Hogan Field in Hamilton Ohio. Always interesting to see the DC-3, Twin Beech, WACO biplanes, Luscombes, Cubs. Swap rides. Lots of backstory at an old airport. Go and hang.
Looking at these birds, I can just hear it now: " Ummm... Yeah, we need a Pitot-Static Cert done on this and all the radios fixed and a WiFi installed and we need it done by 5 since we have a charter flight scheduled to go to Vegas tonight and we're COD and we seem to have lost our credit card, but call our DOM and he'll have it ready for you even though he's fled the country and is somewhere in the Bahamas right about now. Thanks!" Welcome to Aviation 2021.
You could make the video so more interesting by adding history, age how he got the plane what kind of material he sold and do on , no i think you left the good part on the shelf.
@@TrinityGrainMan I think he meant to imply that the industry is like a leash around your neck. That boneyard is FULL of broken dreams and heart breaking disappointments, not just because of the state of the airplanes, but because of the wasted effort and money they absorbed. The people who work in aviation as technicians are under paid, overworked and bare HUGE responsibility. Aviation is NOT as great as people think it is. Unfortunately.
Unless you’re involved in aviation, specifically maintenance, it’s difficult to understand the value of used parts as most of these airframe designs are no longer in production

Been there bought parts in the 80's. Cool to see it's still there.

I've driven by that Lear Jet on I70 100's of times and never knew the story behind it. (No pun intended)

I'm gonna start a bone yard too called... COFFEE , TEA OR ME.

Woah
Thanks brybe, I used to fly SN: 005 in the early 70s.
Good for you. Do what you love!
One bad storm /tornado and your business is scattered more than it is already.
At 1:19 there is a 50 passenger DHC-7
Always wanted to see this place
Before this video, I never thought where are non airworthy general aviation planes stored for parts and scrap, this can't be the only one in the U.S.

@@ParadigmUnkn0wn Yes. I know about Mojave; that's airliner boneyard and Pima, AZ near Davis Monthan is military, but is there like a Cessna boneyard?

Dodson International is an hour from this place and we carry 5 million plus parts.
Sure wished you’d shown the Tail # on that Shorts 360. I put 12.000 hours in those Airplanes.
You poor bastard! I have 1000 in an SD330 and that was too much! ;)
@@lbowsk the good old “Shed” as we used to call it …….the 330 was about as good as a fart in the wind !
Nice little clip thankyou
These people may want to get in touch with Rebuild Rescue. R R is always looking for aircraft parts.

Welcome to Aviation 2021.
Great work
I would love to get the cockpit section of the Saberliner and Jet Commander 1121 !!!!
Awesome, been waiting to see this
This could be a cool Cadillac Ranch type of exhibit, but then the FAA would be getting reports of an accident weekly from ac flying overhead..
According to serial number, Learjet was apparently 8th one made. 23-008
Cool way to make a living.
Lugar lindo lindo lindo lindo lindo lindo lindo lindo lindo lindo lindo lindo lindo lindo lindo lindo lindo lindo ❤️❤️
Nice old Dash 7.
Rebuild Rescue Yotube Channel will possibly be looking for a 1969 Cessna 401 left hand wing .
From rags to riches
You could hide all kinds airplanes out there
great work
At first I thought it was the small boneyard my dad used to fly me to just for fun but this was not. Interesting but little less amusing.
Give me one plane. Only one.
Is there a helicopter bone yard?
Any engines for sale?
Se puede comprar varias partes de las que se ven en el video,?
How much for the Citation that is in back of him at 2.06

Jamais imaginaria de que existisse um lugar chamado cidade de aviões velhos . Em algum lugar do mundo.
Looking for a set of wing for a Cessna 401...
nitch industry? Don't you mean niche industry. Rhymes with leash
Same thing just the American pronunciation, I still prefer the French way
Mark S….seriously?? That’s what you got out of this?? A word mispronounced??

Every path has an end !
name the three planes at 0:31 (I don't know the planes just plz tell me)
An aircraft is the LAST thing you want to buy used parts for...!

Hapoens all the time it's totally normal
sir can u buy one ?

Siento un inmenso placer cuando veo las aeronaves descansando plácidamente luego de su vida útil.
so many ...
Awesome thanks 🙏
HOW DO YOU MOW THE GRASS AROUND ALL THOSE PLANES?

Entendi nada
He does not know how to do math. Quadrupled in size?? He had to start with one aircraft. He has 2000. SMH.
Go ahead and shake your head. I know the man and he is wealthy from all his bad math.
When you have the parts that are needed, you set the price.
