I've heard of aircraft coming straight off the assembly line and ending up
in Arizona at the 'boneyard'. Depending on the market, some other airlines
or even new start-ups might purchase them, as they are 'discounted' or 'on
sale'.

Does anyone know what happens to all the aircraft when an airline
goes bankrupt and stops flying like ATA. Are the planes parked
where they last landed or parked in one of the desert areas out
west until sold. I know ATA had a fairly new fleet including the
B757s and a few new B737-900s.

There are usually quite a few parked and mothballed at the
Victorville Airport (KVCV) in California's High Desert. I noticed
them during my last Angel Flight there.

Google Earth shows several planes:
34.5974722 / -117.3830000
