The planes jeremy saw are at Mojave Spaceport (home of SpaceShipOne); there's a storage area for "excess" commercial airliners on the north side.

The windfarms in California are old and not worth fixing when they break. This is definately the case in Altamont where as the windmills fail they are replaced by much smaller numbers of larger, newer windmills. I suspect that these are decommissioned bodies.

The blades are the most likely parts to need replacing! From the size I thought they were bodies too, but why on earth would they have spare bodies?
