The hulls represent many millions of passengers and tons of freight safely delivered. What incredible feats of engineering!
I don't think you are going to keep this plane in the air forever do you?
So get over with!
One of the best videos I've seen. No irritating background music, or annoying narrating. You let the video speak for itself. I loved looking up some some of the Registration number on some of these 747's. One is almost 48 years old.
lawrencet83 Thank you!
I want tot cry, I’m a retired airline pilot, retire early for medical reasons. It makes me terribly sad to see the Delta (once Northwest 747’s) and the 757’s being scrapped. I recognized the tail number on several of the 757’s.... :(. Billions and billions of $$$$ and billions of safely carried passengers in these relatively young aircraft.
I agree, it is a sad sight. What did you fly when working for the airlines?
I agree, but as we both know there are only so many cycles before the metal gets stressed and the aircraft is no longer safe to fly. I both helped build and/or modify many Boeing aircraft and it hurts to see them sitting in a boneyard.
Sad to see so many 747s. It was truly the queen of the skies.
Thanks you for posting this sad, magnificent, respectful and historic video.
All these aircraft have stories to tell ; the places that they flew, the passengers they carried, the aircrews and engineers that flew and maintained them.
They have been part of peoples lives and as such, absorb a little bit of the spirit of everyone involved with them, just like ships and locomotives.
Sad to see but the parts from these airframes will keep their brethren flying for a while longer.
So much history in one place.
My particular favourite aircraft is the B757, so it was very poignant to see the ex-Delta examples here.
This is excatly why I post videos like this. Thanks for the comment!
STAY OF MY LOVELY 757’S ITS HARDBREAKING!😦
Wow. So many good airplanes ! Great video.
Even in 2016, I’m amazed that Continental MD80 was still mostly in one piece.
i aint happy about that other MD-80 being eaten for lunch...
Wonderful & sentimental to see tho old all-white livery Douglas amphibs that use to land in Miami Harbour (Florida) and take passengers back and forth between there and the Bahamas in the 1980s (when I saw them land and take off like oversize swans) and early 1990s. Wow. Thank you.
Nice work! Certainly the best airliner graveyard video I've seen on RUclips. Would be interesting to get some commentary and even video of how these places operate. Interesting to see them landing one of those 74s, processing it for storage or retirement and towing it into position.
VMC, awesome video!! Lot's of history at that airport. Thanks, for sharing.
Thank You!
Sad to see so many 747 abandoned, I am thinking here how many passengers each of these airplanes took and together, dreams, disappointments, joys, hopes ..., is an aircraft with 50 years of debut, whether or not it is already part of modern history. of civilization.
Very well done video no music no talking almost like paying your respects to The Lost Ones it's sad seeing the beauty of the Skies 747 sitting there, and some look like they are there for dry storage to be used again, thank you for the professional video
Thanks for watching the video
They all start as dry storage for the most part, they likely won’t fly again but will be used for parts or scrap
@@jimmygee3219 - You never know
Love seeing that some of these planes are back in the air after doing a reg search!
Pinal Airpark is a Storage and Maintenance facility and not all airplanes are being scrapped.
Very nice video man keep doing that.
GREAT VIDEO , IS THE BEST.
I think it is a little sad to see these beautiful planes here, but everything gets old. I really miss the 747s. No other plane is quite as majestic and beautiful.
I agree, it is sad to see them like this.
OMG B747-132 AT 11:29 WAS USED BY PAN AM IT'S 47.2 YEARS OLD BUT IN SUPER GOOD SHAPE
Can't believe it's still intact
I'm replying a whole year late, but that specific plane has been all over the world. It was with delta, Pan Am, Evergreen, Garuda Indonesia, then back to evergreen again. Not sure if I've ever been on it while it was with Garuda but what a legendary plane. I wonder how many countries the plane has visited.
@@enrico8269 I'm replying a whole two years later! (Nearly)
Neat!

Good video most of the 737s are in perfect condition
That's only what you see on the outside. Under the Aircraft Skins you would find Worn out Airframes most having Exceeded Safe Service Life Hours.
Great video! So much history here. It's very sad and hard to see all these great planes like this. 15:38 is the Boeing Seattle Seahawks 747-8.
Sadly it is the Seattle Seahawks 747-8
Rotate Aviation 16:15 there's another 747-8, right? The camera man didn't focus on it and switched to the left side.
Luis Andrade Luis Andrade There are a couple. There is a 747-100f, 747-8 Lufthansa, private 747-8, private 737-200 and a Korean air 747-400f after the Seattle 747 to the right.
Rotate Aviation u
VMCAV, awesome video. It brings a tear to my eye to see all those beautiful planes out there never to fly again. How did you get the sweet tour. Nice work!
We flew into Pinal Airpark and ask somebody from the airport to get a tour.
13:45 I’ll miss this plane very much, lots of great memories from them!
Yeah, sad to see them in the desert
Luckily I got to see one at Pinal Airpark before it was scrapped, so I guess I got some closure.
Enjoyed want to visit Here
Wow... This place is perfect for the 737 max fleet. 😘😘😘
😳
Planes are one of a few machines that have a soul. It’s sad to see them like this.
I like that comment👍
Ansett 747-300 12:55 still one left with their livery
I really liked the video, thanks!
Thanks for watching!
VMC Aviation Videos thanks!
Nice video. In the 1950s my step father was a civilian flight instructor here when this site was a civilian flight school for the USAF. In 1979 The Tucson Radio Control Club held a "Winter Nationals" for model airplanes. I participated in the RC Precision Aerobatic event and took some 8 mm silent film shoots then. I have that film on RUclips at with the search title: "1979 Tucson Winter NATS & Pima Air Museum" if you are interested. The last time I was here was in the 1990s and entry was restricted.
Nice, I found the YT video👍
Very cool!
Thanks!
Some are still young. Wow so sad. Like that N220EC at 4:15. Was only 12yrs old.
This plane was barely 11 years old when it was retired in 2015 and had only been in commercial service for about half of that time, mainly for JetBlue as N289JB "Blue Complete Me". Must have been a story here as to why. Anyway, as of the video, parting out was well under way...she's long gone now.
@@RoadCone411 any reason why they would retire a 12 year old plane ??
abum91 I don’t know why in this specific case but it could have been for a number of reasons. For example, perhaps it had some damage that needed repairing before the next major overhaul or, more likely, it was just simply worth more to part out than to keep it whole. There is not much of a market for E190s at the moment. While it does seem like a waste, perhaps the owners decided to get money from parts and spares rather than try and find a new lessee.
It looks like N220EC is serial number 2 and was a prototype for Embraer. This might explain the short service live.
Fantastic video!
Thanks!
@@VMCAviationVideos You're welcome!
Amazing movie !! :-)
Thanks!
Awesome video! I didn’t even know some of those airlines existed! I saw lots of dc 10’s and 767s! I’m gonna be a pilot when I grow up!
Lol alex bregman
there’s no banging in the cockpit to tell you what’s coming next Bregman
10:58 😔My heart is dying... I flew on that beast when I was a child😭😢
✝🙏
Thanks VMC for liking my comment... Surinam Airways has now 1 A340-313X and 3 737's. They are looking for an new transatlantic aircraft. I still miss the 743 and I'm wondering why they stored it at Pinal Airpark. Do you maybe have got more info for me?
WOW WTF 14:57 my heart died again!!! I have flown on that aircraft too :0 DUDE PLS GET THEM BACK!!! THATS MY CHILDHOOD!! TELL THEMMMM (crying , crying , crying)
DutchTranspotter z
DutchTranspotter i Feel you man
great work
Thank You, and a Happy New Year!
@@VMCAviationVideos happy new year for you!
Wow I had no idea some many 757s are at the end of their lives. So sad to see. Also the DL 747s. Great video!!!
Thank you! And yes, it is sad to see all those airplanes sitting in the desert and knowing most of them will not fly again ☹️
I was just wondering If you have any info on tours at the airport. I was just wondering as I work for a Major Airline. Thank you.
Sorry, no real info about tours. We flew into Pinal Airpark and did ask somebody if he could drive us around.
ok thank you it really looks worth the trip. did you fly to PHX??
This is an insane debacle; letting them pile all these aircraft up. They take the engines out and leave them sitting, each one is a potential electrical plant in a remote country. The bodies, cut in sections and turned up right houses for homeless people. No recycling here. There is much more profit in the airline industry than we ever dreamed! DC-3's from the 30's are still flying.
Everything will eventually be recycled
Where is the TWA boeing 747? And is there any chance ti buy parts for a homecockpit?
wow so many 747-400!!!
👍
Por favor ,, mostrar interior de los boings ,, gracias
There are also the old Grumman mallards of Chalk's ocean airways.
Yes, a whole flock of it!
Very sad to see these planes there
Thanks for the vid ! But sad to see
Yup, I agree.
I probably flew on every one of those CHALKS Sea Planes back and forth from Miami and Ft Lauderdale to The Bahamas. Even the one that went down at Government Cut in Miami. Took many flights out of Watson Island at The Port Of Miami to The Bahamas. That was a shame. It was a horrible loss of life 20 souls and it killed Chalks Airlines. Just sad. At the time Chalks was the longest serving Airline in the world as it started in 1917. The title now belongs to KLM.
I did one trip with Chalks from Miami to the Bahamas and back as well, a loooooong time ago.
We can start our airline pick aircraft's from here
Just asking, how were you able to get a full tour of the graveyard? I was only able to go up to the 6 747’s in the middle.
We where flying into the airport and ask somebody for a tour, that's how we ended up getting a full tour.
Thanks for sharing this! I know this will sound corny, but I've always wished I could work at a place like this, maybe as security or something. My father was a former pilot and one of my siblings was a flight attendant while another worked as a ground crew in cargo, so we are sort of an aviation family. I'm not in aviation but am a teacher. Nonetheless, I feel old planes like these are so majestic, even in their most skeletal moments and they should still be treated with some respect. If I had the funding wherewithal, I'd put everyone one of these into a big museum, or convert many of the clustered area of more intact planes into private homes for alternative living.
Are these facilities open to the public to drive through? Or must one be employed there? This is such great footage. Echoing those below, there's no need for music or narration. These big birds have their own stories and perhaps we can sense and imagine them during their epic days of flight.
The Boneyards are usually not open to the public. We flew into Pinal Airpark and got a ride with somebody that works at the airport.
one thing ,twin engines 737.a320,dc 9.md90 lived to fly another day in that bone yard . 747-400 (4 engines) replaced by 777.330,350,787 are to be recycled into those aircrafts or coke cans.LOL
YES! i would live in a plane! yes yes yes,, take out a few seats rearrange a little and ta-da you have yourself a house you can customize...i really want thease to be mine..its so sad
12:51....is that an Ansett 747 "Spaceship"?? :o
Not sure❓
@@VMCAviationVideos Ansett was one of the two (three until Qantas bought Australian Airlines/TAA and turned it into Qantas Domestic) major airlines here in Australia up until they went out of business in 2001, they had a fleet of 747s called the "Spaceships", I just happened to notice that the logo on what's left of the tail looks very much like the Ansett logo, as horribly faded as it is. Would never have thought that any of the retired Ansett planes that didn't go to a different airline would still be so intact after all these years.
cool
👍
I want to go to Mojave California (KMHV) to visit the 747‘s from atlasAir and southern Air.
👍
I honestly don't know, but half of these planes actually look ready to fly.
Well, some are. It's a storage facility, not all planes will be dismantled and scrapped.
yh tru. the ones with a silver wrapping around windows and their wheels are likely to fly again
Well the 1st a380 will call this place home this year... not very sad about it either. It was set up for failure from 1999
I think they made enough to more than breakeven...
👍
They might have some MAX parked there by now.
@Horse Renoir - what?!?
@Horse Renoir - Pinal Airpark is also a aircraft storage and maintenance facility, and not just a "junkyard".
So is that the National 747 that crashed a few years ago in Afganistan? This video was 2016 and the crash around 2018 or so..
I don't know
Went there today really curious after hearing about this place. How did you get in? It was almost like torture seeing so many amazing planes so close, but not being able to go in.
by Plane.
VMC Aviation Videos ah of course that makes sense. It's crazy having seen it that that same place is open to GA. Makes me even more disappointed I don't have a plane
Very very sad to see those beautifull aircraft will scrap...
How did you drive around out there ? Special permission ?
We flew into the airport and asked somebody if they could drive us around.
Spare parts for 747s seem to be easy to come by.
👍
What actually happens to these aircraft once they land here ? Are they stripped down and sold off as spare parts ?
Andrew Ferguson some just sit there, some may get another airline to buy them and some are scrapped and recycled into new planes!
Sad sight. Suppose they can’t fly forever 🇬🇧
The 747-8 in the Seahawks livery!
That 747 is now in service with Qatar cargo.
👍
question can you buy a plane of the boneyards?
Yes you can
theres one 747-8 is that aircraft will be Boeing VC-25B ?
No
What is the registration of the GOL aircrafts stored here?
I don't know
Sad to see then there, but everything has a lifetime and these aircraft have reached theirs.
Yup
how were you able to drive around
👍
11:44 the 94th 747 ever built delivered to delta in 1970. Sadly now scrapped.
Thanks for the sad news😕
is this a boneyard or a storage facility for aircraft on moth ball ?
Correct!
As Stryker Gaming said, both. Plus a lot of aircraft maintenance.
My heart almost stopped after seeing 3 brand new 747-8 already seeing the end of its life
Khalid Abdulghani they could be possibly stored
true
those were test planes.
oh, what about the Skyhawks?
Khalid Abdulghani it’s Seahawks
The Chalk Airways Grumman Albatrosses were interesting! 👍
👍
At 15:32, that 747 is a 747-8F, RC537, and I have many hours of flight testing on her. She was the Seahawks 747 that flew around the Seattle area in 2014. The plane is now flying for Qatar Airways as a freighter.
At 15:52, that is a passenger 747-8I Intercontinental (RC021) and I have many hours flying on her as well. She is still used for testing once in a while, otherwise she is being perfectly preserved and maintained.
I sadly never saw her in the full Seahawks colors
mikefly562 mega top 400
Not a 8f 8f and 8i have a different engine look
@@zacmlinaric - Both are 747-8, parts of the engines are missing
Are there public tours? Contact info please.
I don't know. We flew into the airport and ask someone that was driving around if he could give us a tour.
I never knew a bunch of 747s could make me so sad
Haha, yes I know that feeling
At 12:44 the white AC on the right looks like the forward part of a Boeing 787.
Not sure if it's a part of a 787. Did they scarp any 787 yet?
VMC Aviation Videos
i think this is not a part of a 787, but the first B787 is scrapped, N787FT.
Oh my God, 1:20 is that a Korean Air B747??? I must've flown in that if that is a Korean Air 747(I'm South Korean, of course!)
2:36 N319KA(HL7490) Is Korean Air, I was on that plane when I was going to Honolulu. But how come the plane have a Korean Air livery? It says it was used by Delta Airlines until it's retirement. They shouldn't have repainted the plane, and it even has rust on it!
Yup, it is a Korean Air 747-400
I should visit this place soon, where is this place? And can you get in the planes?
Anyone has an idea on what the regist. number on the Korean Air 747 at 16:42 is?
Are you from North or South Korea?
SAVE THEM ALL PLEASE. so many, such a shame. Surely updating the cockpit and upgrading the engines would give them more life, I know that there is a limit on the airframe , but years ago, they use to re-skin and in some cases re-frame parts of the aircraft.
Yeah but you might not wanna put your family on it and its about being liable I got some buddies that I wouldn't allow my children in their car and that doesn't leave the ground
4:51 LV-ALJ 747-400 ex Aerolineas Argentinas
It's such a shame that Aerolineas Argentinas retired their 747-400s so soon, British Airways and KLM have 744s as old or older still in service
Aerolíneas argentinas is quite a controversial state owned company.
It might have not received the appropiate maintenance, we will never know .
What it is well known is that our politicians , no matter their party, get wealthier every time .
Hard to see 😭😭
Kind of sad seeing all those great aircraft sitting there....
Yup, it is sad!
On 15:55 there was a new Boeing 747-8.you can tell by the window's on the hump
Correct, it is a Boeing flight test 747-8 in Lufthansa colors
Always wondered where those old Chalks Douglas seaplanes disappeared to! Thank you. "Mystery" solved. lol
They are at Pinal Airpark for a while, glad to solved your Mystery.
Douglas ?? they are Grumman Mallard amphibians.
This gets so sad to see them sitting there, if i were allowed to id take all a delta md80 or a allegiant md80....this is so heartbreaking to see this
You better have a big property to park all the MD80's

Can you buy parts from Pinal park ?
You probably can if you get in contact with the right people.
I’ve got to try thanks !!
I want the first class seats please.

Sadly, I think the last TWA 747 is almost gone. They cut pieces out of her to create aircraft skin tags for aviation enthusiasts 😕

The two “white/grey” 748s are the new Air Force Ones. Originally sold to a Russian airliner who’s since went bankrupt. Cost us 3.8 billion for both.
