24 May, 2003, Mojave, CA: An enterprising immigrant named Steven Udvar-Hazy made a fortune when he figured out that airlines would rather lease jetliners instead of buying them. After 9/11, Udvar-Hazy ended up parking a lot of them at the Mojave Airport. Also nearby is Scaled Composites, home of Burt Rutan, the revolutionary airplane designer, and enough plane junk to thrill anyone.
