I am not sure about MHV having been a mil base as it is quite close to Edwards, but So. Cal. Logistics Airport (VCV) was an AFB at one time so it is possible. MHV is actually a bit more of a bone yard, where planes are retired (though they are often bought by another carrier) while VCV tends to be (at least for UA) shorter term storage. Pinal Airpark in Marana AZ (MZJ) is probably the most famous of the bone yards, as it is where a great deal of carriers from all over the world park planes, and has a wrecking facility. Davis Monthan AFB near Tucson is another well known desert vacation for aircraft LAS is also used, surprisingly, for parking at times, and not always short term (The UA DC-10 that spent a long time there comes to mind). They park down on the GA ramp and you can see it really well from the MGM Grand In a message dated 10/13/2004 10:42:25 AM Central Standard Time, Robert.Fletcher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx writes: After seeing parts of the Mojave airport , California, near route 14 and US 58 in the video of Rutan's work, There are very many parked aircraft located there. It puts me to mind about the old George AFB near Victorville. I saw some pictures shot fron above and on the ground of all the old civil aircraft parked there. Are we going to see more and more of the aircraft belonging to the banckedruped airlines sitting in both places? Are there other airports used as storage parking lots in Cal. and Nev.? Also, Was Mojave a military base in the 50s and 60s? Thanks in advance
