This is an Google Maps aerial shot of the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG), AKA “The Boneyard”, a 2,6000 acre facility that serves as the final resting place for over 4,200 US aircraft (I’m gonna go steal a Warthog !). Located in Tucson, Arizona, on the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, the facility was first set up shortly after World War II. It was chosen for its high altitude and arid conditions, that mean the aircraft can be left outdoors without deteriorating too quickly. Officials at the base say that the parts reclaimed and aircraft withdrawn turns every tax dollar spent into 11 dollars in return. Sure this is where all the good planes go when they die, but where do all the bad planes go? *clearing throat* I feel a song coming on! Where do bad planes go when they die? They don’t go to the Boneyard where the planegels fly Go to a place of fire and fry Shoot those dirty bastards right outta the sky And into a f***ing volcano! PEW PEW, PEW PEW PEW!! Hit the Google Maps link to explore the Boneyard yourself.

Fun! ” NEEEEEOOOOOOOWRRRR RATATATATATATAT! “

This robo-jerk, the same one who tried creating a Facebook profile to infiltrate the Geekologie Fan Page , is now flying around in the first class section of airplanes . BAD IDEA. Travellers on a recent Emirates flight from Dubai to Riyadh were accompanied by a different type of passenger, after the Dubai-based airline was tasked with transporting one of the world’s most advanced humanoid robots. Able to verbally interact with people, Ibn Sina stunned fellow passengers as he was checked in at Emirates’ dedicated First Class check-in counters and relaxed in Emirates’ First Class lounge prior to boarding his flight. The transportation of Ibn Sina required countless hours of planning and input from multiple Emirates Group departments to ensure the humanoid was cleared for travel by the Dubai Police Authorities, the Dubai International Airport and Emirates’ safety team. Uh, could you really not just stuff him in a box and mail him to his destination set it on fire? And how come I can’t even use my cassette player advanced media device during taxi and take-off and this BEEP BOOP BOPPING jerk can fly? OH GOD — PLEASE TELL ME HE DIDN’T GET COMPLIMENTARY BEVERAGE SERVICE. Humanoid discovered travelling on Emirates flight [arabiansupplychain] Thanks to Cohan, Conan’s hunkier, battle-axe wielding brother.

Listen, I don’t care how fat you are, God still loves you. But even God would charge you for two seats if you can’t fit in one. Just sayin’. High five, big G! Obese air passenger in economy seat has picture taken [telegraph] Thanks to Add Not Andrew Macgregor and Afern, who always buy two seats but only because they don’t like people sitting next to them.

This unknown US mystery plane was recently photographed on an airbase in Kandahar, Afghanistan, and just look at how cute it is! It’s like a little baby plane. No word on if its an unmanned aircraft or if there’s an actual cockpit, but either way it is a cutie-pie! I mean, sure it’s a war machine, but that doesn’t mean I can’t invite it over for a slumber party, does it? Come on, we’ll order pizza and watch scary war movies! I call little spoon (I’ve burnt my crotch on jet-thrusters before)! US Secret Plane Uncovered [gizmodo]

WARNING : Video is graphic (in case you couldn’t tell by the screenshot) due to simulated polar bear deaths. This is a disturbing video of it raining polar bears (why couldn’t it be men?!) funded by U.K. based Plane Stupid, an anti- airport expansion (read: terrorist) organization. Brief: We wanted to confront people with the impact that short-haul flights have on the climate. We used Polar Bears because they’re a well understood symbol of the effect that climate change is having on the natural world. Granted, I didn’t even read the quote, but did that stop me from stealing my roommate’s credit card and donating $30 to the SPCA? It did not. Youtube Thanks to Matthew, mike and The Baroness, who love polar bears but not enough to hug one because they will maul the shit out of you.

The $25 Illuminated JetBib from ThinkGeek is by far the greatest advance in baby-feeding technology since the tit. The bib and wing tips feature flashing LEDs to ensure a smooth flight and that all food aboard Gerber flight B4BY makes it safely to the hanger. Plus, the spoon end is removable for easy cleaning. That’s just smart product design right there. WW2 flight helmet and goggles optional, but highly recommended. Uh-oh — bogeys at nine o’clock! Dinner’s at seven. AND DON’T BE LATE. BARREL ROLL, BARREL ROLL! Little help over here, Fox McCloud! RAT-A-TAT-A-TAT! BOOM! I’ve been hit — eject, EJECT! WHEEE EEEE EEEE!! Great, now the baby’s crying. But seriously, I think you can tell I’d make a great father. ThinkGeek Product Site via JetBib: Baby food, you’re cleared for landing [dvice]

A passenger plane headed for an airport in eastern Congo overshot the runway (spider solitaire) and ended up crash-landing in lava. Wicked! Of course, I’m making this cooler than it actually was because it wasn’t molten lava and it wasn’t in the middle of a volcano . Truthfully, I don’t even know why I’m reporting this besides 1. I’m awesome and B. journalism. The plane was flying from Kinshasa to Goma, and passengers had warned the crew that there were heavy clouds, Radio Okapi said. An official from the U.N. mission in Congo, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he does not have permission to speak with media, said there were 117 passengers aboard. Thankfully, nobody was injured. Oh — and I love how people that don’t have permission to speak are always speaking. Such rule-breakers! Now, not to honk my own bike horn or anything, but crash landing an airplane in lava isn’t that impressive. Because one time I docked my pirate ship in the middle of an earthquake . Seriously, right in the middle. The epicenter. I know the terminology, it happened. Plane misses runway, lands in lava [msnbc] Thanks to iceman, who would have cooled the lava with his superpowers and made an ice skating rink.

Yesterday Angelina Jolie had Maddox and Pax in the back of her plane after an overnight trip to Las Vegas, and when the group (plus a co-pilot) landed, it was anything but smooth! With the intense heat, there was…

We spotted Angelina Jolie with her flight instructor at Burbank Airport on Thursday afternoon. The pair were apparently heading out on a quick flight to Santa Barbara. Brad rides motorcycles, and Angelina flies her own plane. Wonder if Pax…

Ronald Dejarnett is the U.S. Navy sonar technician that snapped this pic of an F-22 going boom boom over the Gulf of Alaska. Quick shootin’, Ronald — I probably would have peed a little and yelled DECEPTICON! But that could be my special forces training talking. A Picture Is Worth About $138 Million [gizmodo]
