Where do all good aircraft go when they die? Well, there are many "final resting places" for these majestic birds (aircraft), one of the largest is located in Victorville, California!
The Southern California International Airport, the immediate predecessor to the SCLA, opened in October 1994, shortly after the Air Force executed a lease for the former base. The Airport was granted a FAA Part 139 Certificate in February 1995 to serve passenger and cargo operators.
With 360 days a year of “severe clear" weather, the SCLA serves as an industrial airport catering to a customer base that: performs aircraft maintenance and completion services, flight testing, aircraft research and development, aircraft asset management, and aircraft end-of-life cycle services.
The facility regularly disassemble aircraft such as Boeing 737, 747, 757 and 767 models, Airbus A310 and A320, and McDonnell-Douglas MD-10 and MD-11s.
Victorville is also a popular destination for travelers on the famous Route 66!
