The retired airplane becomes a playground for kids

The most well-known storage and retirement locations are in the US deserts. There is plenty of space here, and the dry conditions are perfect for the long term preservation of airframes. Some of the largest facilities include Pinal Airpark and Kingman Municipal Airport in Arizona and Mojave Air & Space Port, and the Southern California Logistics Airport in California. But there are many other locations around the world. These include Alice Springs in Australia (home to Asia-Pacific Aircraft Storage), Teruel airport in Spain, and Kemble in the UK (home to Air Salvage International).
