Aircraft boneyard 34°35′51′′N, 117°22′59′′W. The Southern California Logistics airport in Victorville contains an aircraft boneyard with more than 150 retired planes. Because the demand for jumbo jets has dropped significantly in the past two decades in favour of smaller, more affordable twin-engine planes, many large aircrafts have been retired. The dry conditions in Victorville, on the edge of the Mojave Desert, limits the corrosion of metal, meaning planes can be stored here for years while they are stripped for spare parts.
