Over 400 military aircraft crash sites located in Arizona, New Mexico and Southern California from WWII through the Cold War.

 

 

A-7E Corsair

Navy A-7A Corsair II BuNo 152670, crashed December 8, 1966

 

A "2" is visible on a portion of the wing I uncovered. I suspect a fair amount of the crash was buried, either by the crash crew or from the force of the impact. An access panel to the folding wing cylinder. Stenciled instructions are for the ground crew during maintenance and stowage of the Corsair. 

 

Some of the hundreds of parts scattered across the desert floor. Another access panel to some component on the Corsair II.

 

Parts are scattered back toward my ATV and beyond.
