Junkyard Jets - Boeing 767-300 prototype demoed

[RuggedBrotha]

I wanna live in one.... his makes me sad too. Im gonna go play FSX...

[11MRKARL]

I love planes. This is hard to see. Would you know what they do with the old pan am airplanes? Is there a place where I could go and may be salvage a pilot's cabin or something? or even to take pictures. I loved Pan Am. I have space outside my house. Thanks.

[convairjet]

@11MRKARL Unfortunately there are none out there available for the privet collector. Scroggins Aviation built the Cockpit for the ABC show “Pan Am” and supplied the cabin interior too. Most of those items were from old Pan Am, Northwest and Western. aircraft out of Tucson, AZ. DS

These aircraft that are ripped up, have exceeded total hours of flight on the airframe. Do a search of Jet Airliners for sale....note how many flying hours are on them. Each, each flight has the structure of the aircraft expanding, stretching like a balloon. Each flight, the aircraft expands with internal pressurization....there is a predicted limit, metal fatigue, of how many times an airframe can be stretched, stressed before failures can occur. This airframe has maybe flown 700K people!

did they have to fly the plane all the way from japan?

[candy19817]

that is crazy !!! ..... why dont they rebuild the planes, repaint them in current Delta paint sceams and continue to fly them ?? ....... what a waist of money beautiful jets ... like

@convairjet Hi Doug, what kind of materials are typically salvaged from the plane when you do it like this?

Do you do all the salvaging, or just break the plane down into managable chunks to go to a slavage company?

Thanks for the video :)

[unixkid52]

Its A Japan Airlines!

[awlcvl]

The 767 looked in great condition; why not preserve it if its the prototype -300? too late now though. Very sad.

[class37trash]

Om nom nom!

[ian8354]

Transformer diggers in disguise...............

[Poopingbotham]

Think of all the Coca Cola cans you'll be able to turn that into!

[ErwinNegentigNo2]

ITS A FREAKING PROTOTYPE! Dont destroy it. Preserve it

If only i was a millionare

[ab102798]

such a great plane to go to waste

[psychlord1]

it sounds so fragile, i'm saddend by this

[jonahair747meteors6]

this wants to make me cry this is sick

[432ps1]

I want that guy's job!

[STHFGDBY]

Why does that machine remind me of a T Rex..

[tasman763]

Im sorry.......this just makes me sad. I hope she is not recycled as coffee percolators ......I suppose the " reason " / ( excuse ) is that she is no longer " economical " to operate........and its cheaper to LEASE a 777 ......which just breaks my heart. I dont suppose any of these beautiful aircraft are being preserved ???

Hello Boeing .......what I want for Christmas is........

[GutpileCharlie]

Oh! That is just sick!

Damn!

[Armaangandevia1]

crying**

[convairjet]

The Demo was done at ARC's pad at the SCLA Airport, Victorville, CA.

[philbrooks66]

where was this done- MHV?

[TheHorizonhobby]

Oh god, I love the airplane, this video is awesome for me...

[mrblujet]

Amazing that they are scrapping a 25+ year old 767-300, yet there are still plenty of DC8s' sitting on that ramps that haven't even been touched.

[WilliamPotts3]

OMG! As a 767 rated pilot this is hard to watch. Such a significant aircraft, the first -300. This model has flown more trans-Atlantic flights than any other Boeing. What a shame.  Such a useful machine and not even that old :(

[convairjet]

@WilliamPotts3 My company scrapped ship number 1 for Boeing several years back and we also scrapped the first -200(ER) model and yes i was sad to see the first -300 go. i did save the cockpits from the -200ER and the -300 for a musuem. Viist JunkyardJets net a book on the subject. Thanks for stopping by, Doug

[levanter1M]

@convairjet why would it have been scrapped so early in its life?

[LinkinPark2135]

sad to watch

[jakfuki]

Kinda makes you feel more vulnerable as a traveler when you see how the fuselage literally tears apart. LOL. Sucks that they have to do this. I went through a box of Kleenex (tm) while watching the CV990 demolition. LOL.

[Thepylot78]

Painful to watch...so much engineering and work in it, so many years spent in the wide open skies..and to end up being ripped up like this. Why did they need to demolish it?

[WITCG1]

@Thepylot78 i agree

[kuningas7]

Looks nice. :)

[wesseldewerk]

:' ( This has to be illegal!

[WITCG1]

@wesseldewerk it does

[RampGuy1]

Is it really nessesary to treat an beloved airplane like this?

[WITCG1]

@RampGuy1 ya

[nzecureuil2]

The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

[TheKolonele9]

Why isn't this preserved at some kind of museum?

[javkin]

thats not ok. it hurts badly

[globusworld]

it's a shame to watch this happening! :( RIP 

[JMG717]

I bet the guy in the cab of the excavator was having fun... :-(

[afarr454]

kinda feels like watching your childhood home being demolished in preparation for a freeway to go in.

Hurts to watch this...

[swa6058]

That's sad. But that 767 put up a pretty good fight against that thing.

[Q53bus]

ooooooohhhhh! I can't feel my right arm!!!!!!!!

[kevininsimi]

Why are you scraping it!? I'll buy it!!!!

Oh my God this was so hard to watch.

[planedudea380]

So sad!! :S

[guilhermetrancos2007]

Oh my ... that hurts me! So sad :(

[Ssmlt3]

NOOOOOOOOO  =(

[germdisco]

Caterpillar vs. Boeing.

[JDefenseJ]

No no no!!! I can't watch : (

[BenAndSam3]

AHHHHHHHH

[wendellb36]

it will be funny when the 787 reaches the end it cant be recycled

[sav0320]

Wow, that is pretty sweet.

[southwestguy223]
