Whereabouts is the plane cemetary in the Mojave Desert - have only seen it on TV in Australia, and wonder if one can see much from the road - is is worth going out of your way to have a look?
And where and when is the "Burning Man" Festival held?
Many Thanks

These are the photos of the planes in the Mojave.
We went to the Air Force airplane "cemetery" in Tucson one year. Miles of old military planes, kind of sad, kind of creepy.

You can see them from Hwy 14, on the east side of Mojave. Not up close and personal, however. There are many commerical airliners sitting out there, windows covered. I wouldn't go out of my way to see them. However, I will be going by there next Thursday heading to Reno.

As Scarlett alluded to, there is a huge desert storage area for military aircraft at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson. City streets pass just outside the fence and hundred of aircraft are easily visible from the roadway.

This is not always an airplane cemetery. Many of the planes will never fly again but many also are preserved and can be fairly quickly put back in commission if the need arises, as it has several times in the past.

One of the large storage areas for civil aircraft, mostly airline jets, is the one referred to at Mojave Airport in the high desert northeast of Los Angeles. As someone said, these are not as readily visible but some can be seen from public roads.

There are so many civil jets surplus to current need that a few are stored at a wide variety of locations. We even have 3 or 4 United Express planes stored at the St George, Utah airport.

Sorry-my brain works faster than my typing fingers. That should have been "...hundreds of aircraft..."

Thanks for all the info everyone - we are going to Tuscon too, so shall give Mojave a miss.
Dwooddon, my brain does funny things to my typing fingers too - I know perfectly well that it is cemetery, not cemetary - there ya go! And I typed it twice!
Marilyn, I think we will have left the USA before Labor Day (we leave 24th March) But thanks anyway.
