The things you find in the Desert…✈️

A lot of heavy metal!

A phenomenon of the pandemic has been a massive reduction in international air travel – leading to the requirement to have somewhere to park the aircraft not in use. The answer for some Asian based carriers has been to mothball aircraft in Australia’s central desert.

Counted over 5 dozen from the roadside – and pretty sure the actual number is higher than that .
