Usually when you see planes stationed on the ground, usually they’re at the airport, getting ready for takeoff. Or perhaps they’re retired and sitting in the hanger in a museum or elsewhere. You don’t usually find an airplane sitting next to your car, but along the Texas/Mexico border, there is ONE you can find that’s on the other side of El Paso located in Juarez, Mexico.
This isn’t a small airplane either like a Cessna or a Piper. No. This is A GIANT Boeing 737 jet that’s located on the other side of the Rio Grande, along the Border Highway.
To be completely honest, I had NO IDEA there was even a plane that’s across from Downtown El Paso, but if you search on Google Earth, you can easily spot it. (include Google Earth photos).
You can also see what it looks like up close on Google Street View.
So why IS there a plane just sitting across the El Paso border?
What’s the story for the plane close to the El Paso/Juarez border?
It’s called the “BiblioAvion” (or Book-Plane). Yup. This retired Boeing 737 plane was moved near the El Chamizal park in Juarez in 2019 for one main reason: to teach children how to read…
