It took me a while to figure out what happened to the trade forum and I thought it was removed; so why the change in name which sounds more like a store than a trade forum?

The Mojave Desert, Lot`s of real unwanted planes there in storage, so I think it`s a perfect name for our forum unwanted & wanted planes!
Oh and Sounds Pretty Cool.........

Wel There Should Be 2 Forums I Think.
Here's What I Think Is More Appropriate. Mohave Desert--Scratch And Dent, Missing Parts, Parts For Sale, Chipped Paint And Zinc Rot Models. DACH DAC Holdings Hangar---Trader Forum For Used And Unwanted Models...Or Something To That Effect. |

You should know that Mojave Air and Space Port is much, much more than a boneyard. Please read their aircraft storage and FTA summary. AIRCRAFT STORAGE Mojave's dry desert climate and acres of available open space makes the Mojave Air and Space Port an ideal location for aircraft storage. Numerous large Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, Lockheed, and Airbus aircraft owned by major airlines are stored on site. Some aircraft reach the end of their useful lifetime and are scrapped at Mojave. Others are refurbished and returned to active service. Storage arrangements can be made on a long or short-term basis. Flight Test Associates (FTA), one of our community businesses, provides storage and associated aircraft maintenance services for many U.S. and international airlines and leasing companies. For more information on storing or maintaining your aircraft at Mojave, please contact Mr. Robert Rossatto at FTA on 661 824 5530 or at rrossato@flttest.com.

1) Collectors Don't Readily Associate Mohave As A Storage Facility, But Rather A Boneyard. 2) This Is Not A Buy And Sell Facility. They Lease Space To Airlines That Store Inactive Aircraft. |

2) Through aircraft brokers, it is in fact a facility where aircraft are bought, sold and leased.

True Enough, My bad, But Again, Little Known Fact. I Was Thinking ILFC Or Other Leasing Company As An Example. Never Thought Of Mojave As Either Storage (Though In The Back Of My Mind I Knew That) Nor Holding Company.

Is that the same company that was featured on Discovery Channel or TLC a few years ago?

I said wow, very cool! Then I thought, why would hospital own a motoart desk that costs in the neighborhood of $30,000. Unless it was donated, I can see one reason why our healthcare costs are so sky high. Below are two very stylish examples of reception desks that range from $3,000 to $5,500.

This desk was most likely a donation. I understand from talking to a nurse, they also have one of the wing conference tables. There is an aviation theme at this Kaiser Permenente Hospital in Downey CA. It's a brand new hospital just opening in September. It's built on the former site of North American Rockwell factory in Downey, where the Space Shuttles were built.

Pretty wild. Your explanation about those hospitals and their relation to aviation makes complete sense to me. Stay well.
