The twelve-year-old plane has taken all the trips it can, and it's time to be scrapped for parts.

Touchdown Aviation (TDA), a company that stocks and distributes aircraft parts, just recently got a new arrival in the shop. The Airbus A320—formerly MSN 2137 of Air Asia—was born in October of 2003; the jet has seen some 12 years of active duty but it's still on the young side when it comes to being stripped for parts. 

But while this A320 may never again ferry passengers, its systematic teardown at the hands of TDA has resulted in some really fantastic imagery that shows the insides of the jet in all its complex glory. Here are a few of our favorites:
