Correction Justin: The airplane graveyards are in the American Southwest - Arizona, New Mexico areas. Main reason is that there is little to no rain, no humidity to accelerate the degredation and far enough away from anyone to allow for any influx of new equipment.

As for the ships here, I feel more sad than anything else at these images. It almost seems like the same feeling of seeing a loved one that was vibrant and was very active now confined to a bed or wheelchair, awaiting the Hand of Death to take them on to the next realm. Personally, I'd prefer these ships to be taken out into the ocean and sunk so as to be used as artifical reefs so that at least with those actions, they can still serve some purpose in death as they did in life.
