Sorry to bring the bad news, but this article is false. The "graveyard" discribed in the article is a museum and only holds about 30 aircraft.

You can see it on google earth and i'm guessing you can't simply hide 9000 aircraft.

My best guess is that someone at the daily mail mistook the 'over 9000' meme for an actual number.
