<p>Massive traffic jams on the I-15 during my return from Las Vegas to Los Angeles led me to take a detour in the Victorville area; this put me right in the area of Southern California Logistics Airport, formerly George Air Force Base.
</p><p>The Southern California Logistics Airport (airport code is VCV under IATA, and KVCV under ICAO) is one of several that are used as a "boneyard" for old aircraft that are being stored or dismantled.
</p><p>An overview of the boneyard. In the distance are Boeing 747-400s and other relatively newer aircraft that are stored for possible future service; most of them still have the full markings of their operators. In front are older aircraft with their operator markings covered, that most likely will never fly again.
</p><p>The frontmost aircraft is "City of Chicago," the first Boeing 767 to enter revenue service, with United Airlines on 8 September 1982. There is another United 767 in the foreground, with its paint mostly stripped off.

N606UA "City of Chicago," Boeing 767-200ET
