Also, isn't that the launch 747? I thought that had been donated to Smithsonian, to be used at a later date? Maybe it's not the same plane?

"Graveyard"? These are all beautiful ladies. May they all rest all in peace.

I saw a television show once where movable surfaces were polished and made into coffee tables and alike. I would love to have some of that stuff to tinker with and eventually display in my home.

If you have a BIG check book, this may be your place to shop-

Are there different "stages" for aircraft out there? Some of those 47's and DC-9's look like they could be back up and running pretty easily. It also looks like extra care was given in regards to the landing gear, nacelles and windows on some of those.

Can anyone tell me where i can get a set of first class seats from a classic airplane. I'm not picky about what plane it comes out of and I would like to fix them up myself.

Check Ebay, they used to have several L-1011 and 727 seats on there.

I always thought it would be cool to take some of those parts and decorate my house with them...

put some fan blades on the wall or somethin'...

Boneyard Locations

Those shots are a compiliatiion of at least three locations:

1. A commercial yard near Davis-Monthan AFB. (727s and 707s)

2. Davis-Monthan AFB (Tomcats, etc)

3. Mojave (the original 747)

and possibly Marrana, AZ, at Evergreen's boneyard.

Certain parts are commonly pulled and reused, such as landing gear, engines or engine pieces, and windows.

Aluminum just gets scrapped. Think how many airliners or military aircraft you have personally tossed in the heap as a used soda or beer can...sad to contemplate the history of it.
