Default Re: Plane Buffs - The Boneyard

Hi iainl140285,

When I see those types of images I think to myself, "What a waste", not of aeroplanes, but living quarters. I have lived in various 'alternative' dwellings during my life and would love to convert an old aircraft into a house although I don't have enough money to buy a scrapped plane!

I've lived in a car, a motor home, two boats, I've even shared a cellar! A little different to what my accomodation is now, but I only have fond memories of my alternative life and 'til now, I have never lived in an aeroplane.

Beleive it or not I have managed to hitch hiked in one, but that's another story.

But back to the thread, I think that a plane graveyard a sad waste of space and money.

Best regards,

Steve
