Plane Crashes In Alaska

I thought they were talking about me, but apparently not. I wonder if we can salvage any of these and get them flying again.

 

Alaska is a dangerous place to fly, and wrecked planes dot the landscape, mute reminders of the hazardous conditions Alaskan pilots must face. We’ve included some downed planes in the Alaskan Wilderness Experience Pack – can you find them?

 

Don't click the link if you want to discover them for yourself.

I just discovered one yesterday. Thought it was pretty cool.

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

They need to make these Aerocaches.

There's an Icon A5 that I left under one of the drilling platforms outside Anchorage too :-)

Nice idea. I`ll have to have a look for them tomorrow.

I used to love flying around the Everglades in a Cessna 152, and seeing all the wrecked aircraft. Most of them belonged to drug runners that would ditch the plane they stole, and have an airboat off load the drugs and leave the wrecked plane there. Probably still is happening today.

 

 

 

It would look like this :

 

 

Uhmmmmmm....... wrecked plane with the anti-gravity still working?

We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

Haha I saw sooooo many of them everywhere, like ou can land on the oil extraction platforms and still be some cms above the ground.

 

Flight crashboxes are very approximatives, remember the John Rodgers field storage facility and other similar stuff :rolleyes:

I've seen the DC-3 at the airport, but I've been to where the bomber should be, and there's nothing there. If anyone finds it, post a pic of it and map pic please?

There's no place like this place, so this must be the place.

Update -- also looked for the DC-3 "near Reindeer Lake" and again found nothing. The only online reference I found for a crashed/derelict DC-3 near a Reindeer Lake was in Canada, not Alaska.

If it is anything like trying to find a real crashed DC3, sometimes they search for months.
