- These 8 classic aircraft are all of what remains of these airlines and their aircraft…
Most of these aircraft have been here since the 90s and early 2000s with the latest ones being retired here in 2013, 2016, and 2017.
I will be posting more videos on each of these aircraft explaining their history and information about the aircraft!

So sad seeing the 737-200 and the Northwest 747. These are planes that I flew on when I was younger.
I wish they could be preserved for how important they are. Unfortunately I don’t think that will happen.
@@jwaviation16 Yeah very sad too see
@@briantampa1164yes😢
A group is trying to save the 737. The Bring Our Birds Home campaign in New Zealand.@@jwaviation16
@@jwaviation16there are many, many saved throughout the world.
This so sad to see once a plane that flew internationally and full of passengers and crew now just sitting to rot
I don’t know if many people comment on the music, but man these videos are perfectly scored.
It should be law that all 747s must go to a museum
There are already several 747s in museums.
In America alone there are several 747s preserved. In Europe you can find one in Germany, two in the Netherlands, and one in France. South Africa preserved one 747-200 & a 747SP, Australia has two 747s, and even Iran has one. Plus there's all the 747s that have been repurposed to become buildings etc (in my country one has been used as a showroom for Coach at an outlet mall, and two others are being repurposed to become part of a hotel nearby Singapore).
I don't think these old hulks are necessary anymore.
@@tiadaidyes, there's a Northwest 747-400 in a Delta museum it have a rudder failure before Northwest bankrupt or merged
It's called the Northwest filght 85
@@tiadaid The aircraft you mention are preserved because there are some people around who are perhaps more considerate of faithful servants and history than you are.
That United 400 series we see at 5:15 is sad. When I was at ERAU, I vaguely knew Flip Smith, a student/instructor at the school. He managed to get a United internship and wound up on the seniority list. Nobody younger than him was senior to him, so everyone knew he was going to be a -400 Captain.....But then was killed in a plane crash. He was flying an aerobatic airplane and did a loop close to the ground, but pulled up too low and "pancaked" it in, bending the front end so that he was trapped. He died in the resulting fire. He would be 58 years old now, and due to his birthday and seniority number, no current pilot younger than him would be senior to him; That means that he would be the most senior pilot at United right now had he lived.
RIP-
Oh wow that’s tragic 😢, I’m sure he is a well respected pilot for what he achieved before that crash and he surely would’ve been a well respected United Captain if he were still here today.
I literally cried when i saw these. Rest in peace.
🙏
these 737s and 747s are in better place now..... rest in peace legends
i almost cried
Where are they ?
Always some sadness seeing reliable, miraculous machines looking forlorn and discarded after decades of faithful service.. I remember watching United 747-422s on short one-hour LGW hops from YSSY to YMML. Those aircraft would rocket out of Sydney with initial climb rates of just under 5,000 fpm. Thank you very much for filming them and treating them with respect.
That's so sad, i wish that Korean Air A300-600 could be saved.
Well made. Nice video! Sad to see these technical marvels in this condition. But like cars, these are machines that get obsolete after long years of usage. They have done their job...
Thank you! These old birds definitely had a great life!
RIP to abandoned planes and crash planes 😢😢😢
Rip 737 200 and the 747👑
OMG this is so sad🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭
But hey, atleast it’s not scrapped. Although it is kinda sad to see those planes that has over 10,000 flights slowly decaying from hidden view
Many of the aircraft you see are scrapped, except for the final steps of gear removal and fuselage crushing. They have lost their engines, APU, tanks are drained, instruments, flaps and rudders gone, windows missing and left to be bird roosts. The only items of value remaining are the gear that they sit upon. Also, most aircraft fly much more than 10,000 cycles in their lifetime. Projected cycles are up to 40,000 or so for a wide-body.
2:42 The Olympic 737😍
B737-200/b737-300 I think
@@WanWan-HN322XV is a 200
@@WanWan-H It seems to be a B732 since the B733's had their emergency exit a few windows back with a significant gap like we see on modern 737's
edit: I looked up the registration and yes it is a B737-219. MSN19930 and line number 66. Built in 1968 and first owned by National Airways Corporation of New Zealand. In 1989 they were leased to Olympic Airways for a year alongside with its sister N321XV which was broken up and scrapped in 1992.
3:29 someone drew a heart shape
I had the luck to fly on an A300 in 2018, sad to see most of those planes are not going to takeoff again
There is on 747 an access door through noise gear into the electronics bay and up inside the aircraft.
I would really like to visit my dream was to see a NWA 747 I could never see one and they went away
These planes are probably old and worn-out after flying so many hours nothing can last it's surprising how they lasted Anyway how long does a planes last a few years does anyone know..
Unfortunately aircraft have a time that they actually remain airworthy you would be surprised how much stress a airframe will encounter during its useful lifetime ,you can only maintain them for a certain amount of time before they become basically stressed out and no longer safe to fly 😊
Olympic airways.. B 737 Greece.. Korean Airlines A300. Two american B 747 ...
This is so sad to watch😢 at 737 - 200 Olympic Airways I see very faint
question when was this recorded? i only asked bc i looked up the NWA 747 N603US it is a 747-151 that was stored then scrapped in 1999 but this footage looks recent, i also found the location but as you stated in the description it is best i dont.
So I actually recorded these videos almost exactly 3 weeks ago! Almost all of these aircraft were retired over 10 years ago but the ones featured in this video were never were fully scrapped. Several of them were used for training purposes for mechanics but others are pretty much just sitting here. There aren’t many updated pictures or information on these aircraft but they are currently still at the airport and the Northwest Airlines aircraft are the last remaining in the world!
Also, thank you for not mentioning the location and reading the description! I feel like most people on social media ask a question or make a comment without attempting to read the descriptions or captions. So thank you :)
They deteriorate quickly.
Looks like some of the cockpit windows have been shot at? Like many signs/sign posts in the US :)
The acts of simpletons, who don't understand or respect themselves let alone the aircraft?
My dad refuses to drive here with me because i dont have a drivers license.
And now he wants it to warm up before we go😢
Were you able to get on thr field? I jave only been able to photograph from thr road!
@@RobertCarter-h9f I went through the business parking lot behind the Korean A300. It was originally trespassing but an older gentleman from airport security drove up and let me stay for a bit to take pictures, but that won’t be the case for everyone and I feel like most people just go to steal and climb inside the planes which is why I don’t disclose that information to many people.
I'm surprised the airline's don't line up a buyer before they get rid of their plane so they have money to put down on the new planes and somebody will take the old ones
why is there southwest doors on the 737-200?
In another video, he said that plane was used for training aircraft mechanics, so it sounds like they were practicing replacing fuselage components.
ohhhh@@aaronsjournal139
Do you know why some of the aircraft have odd looking doors that look transplanted from other planes?
Most of these aircraft were used for training mechanics how to replace doors on aircraft, the Northwest 747 is actually still used for this kind of training!
@@jwaviation16 that's fascinating, I always wondered what their purpose was. Did the Northwest Orient 747 and NWA 727 get scrapped?
@@umk747 the Northwest Orient 747 that used to be there was unfortunately scrapped a few years ago and only 2 Northwest 727s remain at the airport
Why was there bullet holes on the a300?
I didn't notice the bullet holes--if there it's because some people lack the respect their parents should have taught them, or they are so angry with themselves it expresses inappropriately.
Delta force movie airplane
Whatsup with the strange door and door surround cutouts taken from the SWA 737 and put on that 737? Just wonder why they’d even do that. They wanted to keep it sealed up or whatever?!
En sevdiğim uçak 747
I almost filed a copyright strike thinking someone copied my video from here again lol. How was it seeing them up close? Looks like the Northwest and United swapped positions since my second visit!
Lots of videos I’ve seen from here definitely look very similar 😂😅. Being able to see these aircraft up close was so surreal, and kind of gave me the feeling of what it was like to planespot back in the 90s and early 2000s which I was never able to do.
I think it was about a year ago when Northwest and United were swapped, not exactly sure why but I think I like Northwest being closest to the woods better than how they originally were haha
ill buy the 727 and make a museum.
737 is a Lufthansa body Southwest doors and American Airlines nose and another airline for the tail
Olympic airlines
Why have all the doors been cut out an replaced with others of diffrent airliners
Mechanic training they are used for
Its because all of greedy people who want to break and vandilize the boneyard, they should make it a museum and keep it as history
The National Air & Space Museum already has a Northwest 747 forward cabin. The Museum of Flight in Seattle already has the prototype 747-100 & a 737-100, and the Delta Flight Museum already has a 747-400. They serve a better representation of history than these hulks, to be honest.
Honestly I don't get why they haven't been sent to the scrapper already. That Northwest 747 has been at the airport since 1999. If a museum wanted it, it would have gone to one already.
@@tiadaid The Olympic 737 has been sitting there since 1991 and the Northwest 747 has been there since 2003. The airport does or has used them for training purposes in the past but I’m surprised they’ve kept some of them this long.
@@tiadaid there is an organization located in New Zealand that’s trying to purchase the Olympic 737-200 because it’s a major part of the countries aviation history, but so far they haven’t been able to get it from the airport
Can you just walk in and photograph them?
The airport technically is off limits but there are ways to get in
😢😢😢😢😢
Why no engines
Those have been used for use on other planes still in service during those days
Engine are removed because it's old I think
@@WanWan-H uh no.
Engines are the first to be used on other planes
Used for other planes or scrapped for parts
The engines are the single most expensive and recyclable pieces of machinery on the airframe. They are the first items removed in a normal scrapping process. They are worth millions and are refurbished for use on low cycle airframes still in operation.
So sad to see them retired can we bring them back they are still here 😢
I don’t understand why at Maxton they sit there for 20 years. Like at KMZJ it’s there a few months
Where is this place?
