Desert birds - Werner Bartsch

A cockpit faces into an endless desert landscape; a gangway stands in the middle of an abandoned expanse. At the vast aircraft storage grounds in the middle of the desert in southwestern USA, hundreds of discarded aircrafts stand in waiting and contemplate their fate. Normally strictly isolated from the outside world, the storage grounds opened their gates for this project by German photographer Werner Bartsch. His impressive images include ancient specimens of the world's best known transport aircraft, Dakota, retired airliners and more.
