CALIFORNIA GRAPEVINE, Page 21THE DESERT TEEMS WITH ALUMINUM BIRDS
By JANICE CASTRO/Reported by Sidney Urquhart
You think you've got parking problems? Try finding a
place to stash a 747. Airline bankruptcies and declining
passenger traffic have created a tangle of unused jetliners that
can't be stored in overcrowded airports. USAir, British Airways,
Delta and other carriers have parked nearly 100 of their 767s,
737s, MD-80s and other jets out in the Southern California
desert at Mojave Airport. Cost: about $200 a month.
