Airplane Graveyard

There are also a ton of planes like this over at the old airbase in Adelanto. Most of the ones here are the 737s that had major issues. They are sitting until there are enough mechanics to finish all of the upgrades. It's been painstakingly slow, and I'm sure that some of them will never fly again, due to parts and age.

Can't take any photos -- it's monitored by video 24 hours. and it's only old commercial airline planes.

Rotary Rocket.

Rocket Park and Airplane Graveyard

Great little diner-type "Voyager" restaurant for breakfast or lunch next to main building on Flightline, straight ahead after airport entrance (on 58, east of town). Just across from restaurant is the "Memorial Park" for visitors, which includes Rotary Rocket and replicas of Voyager and SpaceshipOne.

Just an FYI, you can't get close to the planes and I was told not to take pictures of them because they are still active....

The airplane graveyard can be hit or miss in terms of what's in stock when you visit. I've been three times, with varying numbers of planes. There's always something to see, though, so it's well worth a quick detour off the 14.
