Marana Regional Airport, Regional airport in Marana, Arizona, United States.
Marana Regional Airport is a general aviation facility in Arizona with two paved runways that accommodate aircraft of different sizes and types. The grounds include hangars, maintenance areas, and support facilities spread across the property.
The facility was created in 1943 as a military airfield and served to train pilots during World War II. After the war ended, it transitioned to civilian operations and became a regional aviation hub.

The airfield houses a substantial collection of private and commercial aircraft that are based there or stored temporarily. This diverse fleet makes it an interesting spot for aviation enthusiasts who want to see different types of planes.

Around the world, thousands of airplanes, ships, and vehicles reach the end of their service life and are sent to storage or dismantling sites. These locations mark the final destinations of transportation machines: some wait in the Arizona desert where over 4,000 military aircraft are preserved thanks to the dry climate, others are anchored in Suisun Bay in California as strategic reserves, while still others are dismantled at industrial sites in Chittagong, Bangladesh, where workers recover metal from large commercial ships. Some of these sites have taken unusual forms: in Bangkok, former passenger planes have been converted into homes where residents live; in Alliance, Nebraska, 39 gray cars replicate the exact arrangement of Stonehenge. From Roswell to rusted wrecks in Staten Island and abandoned radioactive vehicles near Chernobyl, these locations tell the comprehensive story of machines that have transported generations of travelers and goods.
