We sent a few of our 747's to Victorville.
A sobering yet fascinating place by all accounts.
Here is ZK-SUH
It has been saved from being scrapped for the time being. Apparently GE are going to use it for alternate fuel testing. Not sure if this is airborne or ground testing.

I went there once to buy a package of JT8s, real hot and dry, but still felt kinda sad to see all the aircraft just sitting there waiting for disposal. Took me a few days to get my head around it all!
