Spotting @ KVCV

Real World Aviation Spotting
#1

So this is not exactly spotting, since this place was more of a plane graveyard than an active airport. Other than the few military jets that took off every now and then. Anyways, here is Southern California Logistics airport!

This is quite depressing. I guess all good things must come to an end.

Nice photos.

Have you ever considered watermarking all of your own wonderful personal images instead of posting a notice?

I actually did not gain any access, a lot of these were shot through fences.

These photos are always sad. Particularly the classic aircraft, and aircraft that have just been taken out of service. I’m wondering why the GE 747 is parked at the airport?

I could be wrong, but that looks like a 767 nose and fuselage. It does look very old (and sad).

You should have went in for a foam in the American airlines Boeing 737 with the door open, if someone comes hide in. The lavatory

That doesn’t look like a 737…

I only showed the nose, if you were to fully look at it, it looked like a 737-800.
