What's the deal with those?

I'd guess boneyard, but the way the wrecks are aligned, nevermind the rocky terrain and the way they're semi buried, cancels that out. Crashes don't make a whole lot of sense either, not that clean, and not that close together. Can't be a landing strip because, again, the terrain doesn't lend itself.

So what's the deal? What's with all the plane carcasses? There always exists the possibility they're there "just cause" which I wouldn't mind, but this is Bungie, and such environmental details seem to usually be thought out.

Just a hunch, but they could have taken inspiration from this:

Russian aerodrome, meet Destiny Cosmodrome.

Alternatively it could just represent an airport that got hit with the collapse. But the first idea is cooler ;)
