The Most Incredible Airplane Graveyards On Earth

image credit

A slight creaking noise can be heard above the gentle gusts of desert wind. Is it a propeller moving? Or perhaps the door to a cockpit not quite shut? Amidst the rigid or even skeletal remains of old commercial and military airplanes, footprints in the dust mark the routes taken by those who have explored these strange vehicular graveyards.

With little more than the pale moon or pounding sun as their companion, these explorers have attempted to unearth secrets that lie dormant in and among the carcasses of battered and gradually decaying old planes.

Some misleading photographs in there in particular the photograph of XM172 which has never been in any sort of airplane graveyard.
