Idle airliners

Amid all the bleak air travel news, one number really caught my eye this morning: "More than 1,300 planes are already temporarily out of service from airlines around the world, most of them parked in the Arizona desert."
That's one heck of a mothball fleet. No luck in finding a picture of hundreds of planes sitting out on the desert tarmac, though.
