  • In this video, I visited just TWO of MANY aircraft boneyards, graveyards and scrapyards found all across the US desert Southwest. Today’s journey took us across the Grand Canyon state, searching for a boneyard with some of the best opportunities for filming. What happens inside the boneyard, and what kind of legendary abandoned airplanes can be found at these massive facilities? Watch the video to find out, and make sure to leave a like and subscribe if you haven't already!

    All I have to say is that it's just so cool seeing these historical retro planes all together being taken over by nature and weathering

    To be honest, I feel like the least people could do would be to put the old planes (Before the 80s) in museums or other stuff, because it's just sad to see pieces of history die

    • @ice711real
      @ice711real  3 месяца назад +1

      It sure is sad, but you may be surprised how many have actually ended up in museums. Obviously, there’d have to be thousands other museums to supply thousands of aircraft, hence why we see so many scrapped

    • @Tteonaryaisgud
      @Tteonaryaisgud 3 месяца назад

      @ice711real Agreed, but I feel like we can at least try to preserve the most we possibly can, since these planes are becoming rarer and rarer, and since future generations would most likely be interested in the history of aviation, we could try to preserve them while they still exist

    The fact hat some of these planes are the last of either fallen airlines or retired aircraft makes me sad

    I really wish they wouldn't retire so many aircraft. Maybe that new airline from your other video will take at least the 747s
