AOTD for 11/25 Crashed Liberator

[188AHC]

We get to hunt for another crash site. Some members have mentioned they have seen this one already so it shouldn't be a challenge for them.

 

Enjoy.

Don't go searching too far afield. It's near the airport. Of course, flying around the west end of the island is pretty scenic. Ask me how I know.

 

Oh... and this puts me at 187 aerocaches and 3,000,199 points. But who's counting?

It`s still not there where it is in real life.

There was a challenge a few month ago to find those. At that time it was also on the wrong geographical position.

But at least we have Aerocaches again

Yeah, I remember researching that at the time. I just went looking in the wrong location... where it *should* have been.

It appeared as soon as I loaded up the cache while I was still at the end of the runway! Nice one to get though.

Looked suspiciously like the "crashed DC3" of a few days ago.

The DC3 looked more like a Beech D-18 with a single tail and so does the liberator. Or maybe a Cessna Bobcat, does it say Song Bird on the nose? At least it could have had 4 engines and 3 blade props. Once again it is a ghost, you can walk right through it.

[Prune]

Well that ain`t no Liberator that`s for sure! The Liberator was a high winged , four engined aircraft as I`m sure we all know. This is a low winged , twin engine job. I wish when they say it`s a Liberator cache that they would use a Liberator.

Anyone interested in an intriguing true story should google "B-24 Lady be good." Probably the best documented crash of a B-24 and the insuring mystery surrounding it's discovery.
