Subic Bay International Aircraft Warehouse

Comment from a reader:

Cathay Pacific just announced it will be parking six passenger planes and five cargo freighters by the end of 2009, because of unfavorable economic conditions. If these planes were parked at SBIA, the resulting income would tide the Airport over until arrangements can be made with Japan and the U.S. for the permanent relocation of U.S. Navy Field Landing Practice from Iwo Jima to SBIA. Time to get your thumb out, SBMA, and save our Airport.

[The Subic Bulletin] Yes we had a similar suggestion once before, a storage facility for planes would match nicely with the "stored" ships in the Bay. We think the real problem with this suggestion is that you should store planes as far away from the salt air as you can, so even Clark would be a better choice than right by the bay.
