Help improve Atlas Obscura by expanding Aviation Warehouse with additional information or photos.

At this boneyard, everything is for sale. The collection of decommissioned aircraft, ejection seats, emergency exit doors, and instrument panels are all available for purchase. Most of which will end up on production sets for movies or television shows. 

That’s not all this aviation cemetery has to offer. The Aviation Warehouse also plays hosts to more than 300,000 airplane manuals and guides located in the technical library.
