Driving through the AIRPLANE GRAVEYARD at the Kingman Airport

[@jefftrotter8152]

Would be nice if they made the boneyard into a plane museum .I started working for the airport business 3 years ago and all we worked were CRJ200s.A few of those ship numbers look familar.Use to love them untill until what i tought was better when we oficially start to only operate CRJ 700-900..Im not a fan of the 700 they are terrible they need to be parked ASAP.They are not ramp friendly.We always bulk out to the max with bags because most kick off flight are active military so alor of those large duffle bags fill up bin 2 quickly.We woukd prefer tyey sebd only 900s but for reasons unkown they continue to send 700 on days we dont need like on Saturday.Sundays no bad but mainly Saturdays its an issue.Other than that i love the CRJs especially the last style that was ever ordered like 834SK.We call them fancy 😂😂😂

13:16, I own the EGRESS door on N8488D, which is on the left! Really cool to see!

[@RossAviationWorld]

Wow, never knew Delta got rid of so many CRJ's. Very interesting video!

[@VMCAviationVideos]

Yes, I stopped counting after about 30

[@wayne.rassman2389]

Most all dL crj50.. have retired still few flying . Some markets still only have them, .

[@wayne.rassman2389]

Bet I’ve worked most of these delta crj 50.

They are going to a all Airbus fleet and replacing with the A220! Delta is a pos airlines!

9:16 To 14:35: I worked for Bombardier from 1994 until 2014. The period of time during which those aircraft were built was the high point of my career. Seems like yesterday! #PassTheMargaritaPitcher 🏖🍹

Sweet video. I drove through that area about 2 years ago on a Sunday. I tried every way I could think of to do what you were able to do, drive through.

[@bacfo69]

Best thing would be to hit up the fbo or airport manager, wouldn't recommend driving out without permission, lot of good ole boys that watch everyone coming in and out and they are very protective......lol (I used to have an aircraft parked in a hanger there)

The cargo hold on that crj200 is in the tail. John Parker over at Delta put 100 bags in there back in 2012

Is that 737-200 from Magnicharters XA-MAF (ex-Varig PP-VNG)? Thanks.

Nice video no music or telling us the history we can figure it out on our own.. Thankyou

Glad you enjoyed it

[@4viator]

cool

[@basketballspinner]

They take those engines off and rebuild them although yeah that titanium in the engines is extremely valuable. It is lighter than steel and stronger giving buoyancy

[@Thomas1980]

Very nice!!! LIKE!!!

[@VMCAviationVideos]

Thanks!

[@clarktferrill]

Can the public get in to see this? Is there somewhere they sell parts off these planes.? I'm interested in the galley cabinets etc. I assume all these planes were flown in here?

[@VMCAviationVideos]

As far as I know there are no public tours.

Now you know why ticket prices are so high

[@jeanmartin3600]

OMG - why are those CRJs on the ground ??? !!! 💵💵💵 !!!

[@basketballspinner]

Take those crj200's `AND PARK THEM IN THE DESERT' And in case the pilot was wondering why his plane seemed a little overweight on the last flight? It was because i still had my fingernail in the cargo hold `UNACCOUNTED' for on the weight and balance sheet. But alas he landed safely even though overweight by .0001 ounces. Well done.

[@pamelathompson3426]

Its so sad to see all these airplanes just sitting there rotting. They should recycle them, better than just sitting there rotting..........

[@VMCAviationVideos]

Kingman is also a aircraft storage facility. Some airplanes will fly again and the rest will be recycled.

[@smalltowntraveller]

Scary coverage... Very bad condition of useless abandoned planes

[@basketballspinner]

I was in kingman in 1985 broken down. Alternator out. Had my 1979 toyota corolla. Bought an alternator and walked all over town to get it at the parts store then i knocked on the door of the house i broke down in front. He let me use his channel locks and wrenches. Hour later i was on the road back to new orleans

[@eyetrapper]

Great video

[@VMCAviationVideos]

Thanks!

[@Lee247Jamaica]

I know for a fact most of these where not even fully 20 years old

[@VMCAviationVideos]

Sadly, that's how it goes. Even A380's are already being scraped.

[@Lee247Jamaica]

@@VMCAviationVideos sadly they are

[@peterblackburn7269]

whats the world coming to ,build plane then few years scrap it even A380 being scrapped now all jumbo 747 gone or 90% scrapped such waste!

[@amuxpatch2798]

Manufacture aircraft companies and banks and finance companies and energy (price of oil goes up) work together make sure that airlines buy new planes to replace old planes quickly and keep aircraft companies in business.

I loaded one of those planes. I was biting my fingernails while waiting for the bags to come up and spit them out in the cargohold. Can you retrieve my fingernail for me i believe it is in the crj200
