- <p> You think you've got parking problems? Try finding a
- place to stash a 747. Airline bankruptcies and declining
- passenger traffic have created a tangle of unused jetliners that
- can't be stored in overcrowded airports. USAir, British Airways,
- Delta and other carriers have parked nearly 100 of their 767s,
- 737s, MD-80s and other jets out in the Southern California
- desert at Mojave Airport. Cost: about $200 a month.
