    - I forgot this article...

    Last week, Malaysia Airlines loaded a passenger A330 aircraft with personal protective equipment bound for Melbourne, Australia. Boxes of gloves and masks were tucked away in overhead lockers, under seats, and secured around the main cabin. In addition, the aircraft’s belly-hold was filled up. The plane flew down to Melbourne late last week and returned with a planeload of Malaysian nationals keen to get home.
    I wonder if there is a market to convert these aircraft to cargo of some sort.

    Singapore Airlines have stored their A380's in the middle of the Australian desert. Apparently the dry conditions much better for aircraft and easier/cheaper to store there than in the SG humidity.

    If you are into that there are loads of youtube videos going around about the various plane graveyards in the USA. It is pure plane porn at its best.
