Description

In the Arizona desert, nearly 3,500 aircraft sit in silent rows, and not all of them are finished flying. A few miles away, airlines are tearing apart jets that are only a few years old, because their parts are worth more than the planes. What happens after an airplane’s last flight is stranger than you think, and the next jet you board may already have been through it.
