Where have all those planes gone to? Perhaps here in the South part of England at Air Salvage:http://www.digitaltrends.com/web/the...-a-boeing-747/

Air Salvage International deals with around 40 planes a year, selling on anything of value to airlines around the world on the hunt for spare parts. There’s serious money involved, with an engine going for around $1 million, landing gear for $300,000 depending on age, and cockpit screens for around $30,000 each. Even a coffee maker from the aircraft can be sold on for as much as $4,600, and toilet bowls too – lovingly restored, of course – can fetch somewhere in the region of $800.
Once everything of value has been taken from the jumbo, all that’s left is a metal shell. This is where it really ends for the plane, with a special digger brought in to break it up (video below). After three days of demolition work, little remains of the jet except a pile of torn up, twisted aluminum.

Even this, however, has scrap value to the tune of $55,000, with some ending up as drinks cans or bicycle frames.

Of course, not all commercial airliners end their days in this way. A few are bought by those looking to build an unusual house or hotel, while others might buy a whole cockpit and turn it into a flight simulator.

That's what I want a 747 flight simulator
