  • Pinal Airpark Airplane Graveyard Tour | 732, A340, 747, A330 | April 2023
    Little history on Pinal Airpark: The airfirld was originally built in 1942 to train soldiers for the ongoing war, WWII. Between '42 and '45, over 10,000 soldiers were trained here including over 2,000 Chinese soldiers. Many barracks, still seen today, held these soldiers. After the war was over, the airfield went dormant for a few decades until, similar to Victorville (
    • Victorville Airpl... ) and Mojave (
    • Mojave Airplane G... ), the world needed somewhere to store unneeded aircraft who had been retired. Northwest Airlines was the first airline to store some aircraft here before the TWA 747-100 landed here for the last time in October of 1996. Since then, thousands of aircraft have landed here...some leave after long term storage like the the Dream Lifter we saw, whereas some never leave similar to the ANA 742s, NWA 742Fs, the TWA 741, and, many more due to the pandemic, such as the SAS A343 and many others. Hope you all enjoy this exclusive tour!

      @@rnsone8827 I'm a retired Boeing modification mechanic. I worked both civilian and military mod. P4-FSH will probably never fly again. It's value is in parts. The SP parked next to it could easily fly again, N7477S, to the right customer. It is currently for sale. It might be smart to buy both planes, keeping P4-FSH for parts. Talk is that N7477S could sell for $10 million and P4-FSH for $1 million, or so.

      It’s crazy how expensive those are. I got a bolt from the TWA’s gear that’s 5x larger than the $94 plane tags. Sure they’re part of the aircraft, but very overpriced in my opinion. Gotta make money someway though I guess.

      At 1:06, that’s a former VA and Alaska 320.
      For the TWA, it’s an icon at Pinal and most likely will fall apart since PlaneTags has cut so much metal off of it.
      For the NWA Cargos, one is in the final stages of being reactivated after 20+ years as the new global supertanker replacing the 747-400.
