00:03Indonesia is not only for humans, it turns out that aircraft also have a final resting place when they have retired or are no longer used.
00:13Let's just take a look at the recorder information.
00:17This is The Davis Mountain Boneyard, the largest aircraft burial ground on planet earth, spanning 1,052 hectares located
00:26in Tucson, Arizona, United States.
00:29Davis Mountain is named after two Tucson pilots who died during World War I, namely Samuel Davis
00:36and Oscar Mountain.
00:38In this place there are more than 4,000 fighter planes and hundreds of other modes of air transportation that once gallantly
00:46flying in the sky, but now they are all parked neatly on the barren ground.
00:55Formerly, since the end of World War II, The Davis Mountain Boneyard was used as a military aircraft storage area.
01:02However, as time went by, this place turned into the largest aircraft graveyard in the world.
01:08Even though it is a place where old planes are kept, not all planes can be stored carelessly in this place.
01:15There is a certain code that determines where the plane should be.
01:20Code 1,000 for aircraft stored long term with full maintenance.
01:24Code 2,000 is for aircraft whose parts can be reused on other aircraft.
01:30Meanwhile, code 3,000 is for aircraft that are still in flight-ready condition at any time, so they are only temporarily stored.
01:37And finally, there is code 4,000 for aircraft that will be destroyed or recycled.
