slow day at work... did some crawling through the net and stumbled on this one....

an airplane graveyard in El Paso County, TX

there are a number of Beech C-45's / JRB's rotting away, as well as some light airplanes and what appears to be a T-6 / SNJ....

is this a well known place ? Just curious...

and pardon me for putting up a link :wink:

I remember another group of C-45-type airplanes on a private lot east of Dallas that reminds me of this cache. We drove past them on the way to Devil's Bowl Speedway near Mesquite if memory serves. There were a couple with civilian paint and one or two with ex-Navy schemes. It must have been 1997 or so when we stumbled onto them.

Yeah I saw that place too. I tried to find out history from the owner but he cussed me out and his dog just about bit me. Not the nicest fellow in the world.

I looked it up on G.Earth and its gone now. Still wonder what the deal was.
