Australian aircraft 'graveyard'
Just caught the back end of an item to be featured on CH9 news tonight about the rumoured a/c storage facility to be built (near Alice Springs from memory). Just saw shots of one of the US sites with the comment 'we're getting one soon' (or words to that efect).

I believe there were 2 proposed sights in Australia around that time, Cloncurry and Alice Springs. It would appear Alice Springs has the best chance at this point and most likely will be one that will happen.

Cheers Rowan, I'm still a bit uncertain it will happen. When the 1st B732, B727, B747 classic, MD80 or A300 lands there for storage I will be a believer

Unbelievable that Alice (if this goes ahead the rumors about this has been around for ages) will become the best place in Australia to spot aircraft, exotic aircraft anyway....

Back in May, the Wall St Journal said that construction was due to commence in the second half of 2011. Does anyone know if this has occured?

Hi Dan, it hasn't yet but I understand the operators have some solid leads potential-customer-wise.
