They send them down here to my neck of the woods Tucson, Arizona where you can drive for miles seeing out-of-service planes.

I assume you mean military airplanes. America parks theirs in the Arizona desert so that Soviet spy satellites can verify they are no longer a threat to them.

commerical aircraft are stored at Victorville airport in CA, (VCV) and cannibalized for spare parts. military aircraft are usually stored at Davis Monthn AFB outside Tucson. Many aircraft are sold to foreign carriers where they fly until they just can't anymore.

they are stored at the operating company for "cannibalizing" purposes and then removed and sold as metal scrap
