Aviation photographer Jarrod Swanwick has captured the plight of the aviation industry with a fly-over of the grounded airliners at Alice Springs in Australia. The photos taken over the weekend of March 6/7 show mainly Singapore Airlines and  Cathay Pacific Airways aircraft. But also can be seen are aircraft from Cebu Pacific, Scoot, Virgin Australia, Tigerair, and Jetstar. A passionate enthusiast Jarrod (below) flew from Perth to Alice Springs, hired a helicopter to get these dramatic shots.

"The stored aircraft were a sight to see. Quite sad to see but very impressive nonetheless." Here are some of the pictures;
