Stored Max Jets at Moses Lake

I have posted images of stored 737 Max jets at Boeing Field.  However, there is limited space there for storage and far more of the jets have been stored at Moses Lake.  I wanted to see how things looked over there which was part of my reason for visiting.  As I got close to the field, it wasn’t hard to spot the jets.  They are everywhere it seems.  The east side of the field has a bunch of them parked up.  There are also plenty on the south side of the airport.

I took some shots of them to make panoramas but the fence made it harder to get a good look and the light was on the wrong side by that time in the day.  The south side of the field gave some better angles as did places along the road running around the airport.  I quite liked the long view across to the large numbers of planes but the heat haze was really harsh so the shots, while giving an idea of how many planes there are, lose something from being so blurred.

The south side of the field had the best light angles and you were quite close to the jets so haze was less of an issue.  I like looking through the rows of planes neatly lined up to emphasize just how many of them there are.  It seems Boeing is getting closer to restoring their airworthiness so we shall see how quickly they can mobilize to get the jets ready again and how willing the customers are to take delivery at this point!
