    Chandler Arizona

    Here are some shots I took when I was in AZ. These shots show where
    the last of the parts for the DC-4 and DC-6's came from. The
    airport/boneyard is now gone. All the aircraft were chopped up. Parts
    were moved. I really wanted to go back at sunset night to sunrise. I am
    soo upset! anyone need a condo?

    Better question, does anyone know where I can still find an aircraft boneyard with old propliners in the U.S.?


    Aircraft shown on ramp...Note all the old helo's on the bottom?

    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Where is that airport? My brother lives in Chandler, but the only airport I run into over there is the general aviation one.....never seen anything good there. Is this one further east?
