Airplane Graveyard

I haven't actually been here, just driven by it, and I'm not sure if they even allow the public in. But, in Mojave CA, right off the 58 Freeway to the east, there's a huge yard with many airplanes ... even Virgin Atlantic 747s! I was told this was an "airplane graveyard" of sorts, but there isn't any sign acknowledging it that I saw.
