Pinal airpark

My last solo cross-coutry navigation took me to Pinal, it's an airport with one big runway to accommodate for B 747, B777,...
Because it (almost) never rains and there is a very low humidity airliners park their aircraft in Pinal because there is a little chance for corrosion of the aircraft.
They even wrap the engine in Plastic so they stay intact until the airline takes the aircraft back in service.


On Take-off: sunrise over superstition mountains


Lonely airplanes


Wrapped in plastic against corrostion

Engines in plasic


Old old old...

Martinair Cargo and other planes waiting to return
to service
