Journey to the Airplane Boneyard
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!

Yay new AZ vid I’m guessing this was also back in February, but yeah pinal is sad with all the 747s especially THE DREAMLIFTER😭😭😭😭, but yeah the Goodyear one is good I just went there 2 weeks ago I think, and seeing a 747 is nice especially when I have a shot of it looking at you, but no the pilots plane ain’t gonna end up like the others and plus it ain’t his plane, because it’s united aviate academy’s plane, but yeah lots of spirits to become spirits, and yeah it’s, 90% graveyard, 10% scrapyard, but love you ice🧊🩵
Another amazing vid as always
Rest in peace🫡
Very cool boneyards, and a very cool video by Ice once again :)
My heart dropped when I saw that white 777-300ER at the beginning, it was practically brand new and was supposed to go to Azur Air, it was all ready for delivery when the sanctions came around. Now it is just rotting away. How sad.

You should do one of these but for fighter jets, I think there’s another boneyard for them in Arizona as well
My jaw will drop if you find a PAN AM as it retired in 1991
1:17 the Cessna is mocking the jets...
Ice711, your video was truly amazing! I've been meaning to ask you a favor for a while now. I’d like to request a video where you delve into the strengths and weaknesses of Airbus and Boeing. It would be really interesting to see a side-by-side comparison to determine which company comes out on top. Thank you!

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

@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 Edit: Thanks for the reply, I love your content and have been around since you had 3K subs:)
The first 747 was owned by sabena; Based in Belgium. Delivered in 1986, it was preserved at MZJ Jun 2020, about a mile away from the perimeter (32°30'23.9"N, 111°17'41.3"W)

if you are ever in Washington state in Seattle or Everett, Washington there is a storage facility just like 3hrs away from Seattle. Its Grant County International airport and it's in the middle of Washinton state. It is also a testing facility for Boeing and the United States Airforce. Anyways I would love to see you cover this place in a video so yeah.
4:15 My country was mentioned! Air Astana is planning to retire its Boeing 767-300ERs in 2025 and replace them with three Boeing 787-9s. I also forgot to type that my first flight was on an Air Astana Boeing 767-300ER to Istanbul. I was 11 months old at the time. That flight was from Astana.

Hey ice, if you want to see an MD-82 in pretty good shape, there’s one in Ostie Field in Fajardo, PR. They recently closed the gate to get to the plane but there’s a part of the fence missing out the back, I’ve gone there with my dad multiple times and not once have we seen a security guard or camera
We have a boneyard here (kinda at FZNA). We have like mi-8, Dc-3, il-76, yak 40 and a mig 21. It's crazy to see all these planes just sitting in the desert (Btw I just noticed that you´re certified)
OMG I AM SO EARLY LOL Wow, the aircraft graveyard looks so nice yet sad at the same time! R.I.P To all those planes…
As a Arizonan from Yuma I’ve been to Mojave countless times
I’ve been to a plane scrapyard before, and it was only little planes like Cessna planes, and I’ve never been to one like the one in the video, all I can say is that these planes should have a beautiful resting place and makes me shed a tear that planes like the 747 and A380 are being scrapped.
7:52 RIP to that American Airlines MD-80. I’ve flown on that once.
