Old airplanes, including Boeing 747-400s, are stored in the desert in Victorville, California March 13, 2015.

Smaller planes cost less to fly than the stately, four-engine jumbos, which can carry as many as 525 passengers. Picture taken March 13, 2015. To match Insight AEROSPACE-JUMBO REUTERS/Lucy Nicholson
