Abilene Regional Airport (ABI/KABI) is a public airport 5 km southeast of Abilene, in Taylor County, Texas.
Abilene Regional is also home to Eagle Aviation Services, Inc., which is a heavy-maintenance base for all American Eagle aircraft. Basically every plane in the airline's fleet is maintained at ABI. The airport grounds also act as an aircraft boneyard for American Eagle, which stores around 20 retired Saab 340 turboprop aircraft which remain in the airline's livery. American Eagle replaced these propjets with Embraer regional jets.

With the end of WWII, operations at the base came to a virtual
standstill. It was then the base was selected as a storage site for
hundreds of decommissioned aircraft, with the activation of the 4105th Army Air Force Unit. The 4105th oversaw the storage of excess B-29s and C-47 "Gooney Birds." Tucson's low humidity and alkali soil
made it an ideal location for aircraft storage and preservation,
awaiting cannibalization or possible reuse — a mission that has
continued to this day.
Kingman Airport (IGM/KIGM) is a public use airport located 15 km northeast of Kingman, a city in Mohave County, Arizona, United States.

The Mojave Air and Space Port (MHV/KMHV), also known as the Civilian Aerospace Test Center, is located in Mojave, California.
The Mojave airport is also known as a storage location for commercial airliners, due to the vast area and dry desert conditions. Numerous large Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, Lockheed, and Airbus
aircraft owned by major airlines are stored at Mojave. Some aircraft
reach the end of their useful lifetime and are scrapped at the Mojave aircraft boneyard, while others are refurbished and returned to active service.

Pinal Airpark (MZJ/KMZJ) is a public-use airport located 13 km northwest of Marana, in Pinal County, Arizona.
Its main purpose is to act as a boneyard
for civilian commercial aircraft. Old airplanes are stored there with
the hope that the dry desert climate will mitigate any form of corrosion
in case the aircraft is pressed into service in the future. It is the
largest commercial aircraft storage and heavy maintenance facility in
the world. Even so, many aircraft which are brought there wind up being scrapped. The majority of the aircraft at Pinal Airpark formerly belonged to Northwest Airlines, though many other airlines are represented as well.
Roswell International Air Center (RIAC) (ROW/KROW), also known as Roswell Industrial Air Center, is a public-use airport located 11 km south of Roswell, in Chaves County, New Mexico, United States.
