Southwest Moves 737 MAX Aircraft To Victorville For Storage
VICTORVILLE (CBSLA) — Southwest Airlines, the world’s largest operator of the Boeing 737 MAX, is now sending their fleet to storage at the Southern California Logistics Airport in Victorville. They’ll be parked there until they get the green light to go back into service. The planes were grounded after two deadly crashes in six months.

Let’s get these planes corrected and back in the air. I’ll volunteer to be a passenger.
Something is wrong with the photo of those Southwest jets sitting there. Looks like an image from a video game. Maybe it's just me.
Well, they gotta put them somewhere until they are ready to go again...
How do they move the planes if they're grounded? Maybe that's not the right word to use? I haven't read the official orders, so assume it's a restriction against passenger service... surely they're not towing them... :D
They are allowed to use the aircraft for ferrying and other operations as permitted by the AD.

SWA8701 A MAX flight headed to Victorville this afternoon had to return to Orlando where it made an emergency landing! According to the flight track the flight lasted only 11 minutes and only reached an altitude of 2000 ft which could suggest a problem with MCAS - whatever the problem it was obviously very urgent that they get back on the ground https://flightaware.com/live/flight/SWA8701
