Is this really a secret? Anyone knows where?



BEST KEPT BONEYARD SECRET IN THE WORLD! ? WOW!! You wouldn't believe what I saw yesterday! I knew it was out there, and I finally found it! Sorry, no pictures... owner would not allow cameras on the premises :(((((( .. One B-17 in pieces .. One T-33 wreckage .. Three B-29's .. Two A-20's .. At least six F-86's .. Two Lockheed Lodestars .. Three or four B-25's with numerous parts .. Remains of a B-26 + one complete B-26 in pieces .. ALL kinds of seats .. Engines .. Extra wings .. Canopies .. Propeller blades .. B-25 tailgunner sections .. Hundreds of wooden crates and trailers full of stuff from the 1940's. The crates are weathered and falling apart (after all, the wood is over 60 years old), but the contents look brand new! Aircraft that were used in movies... Pearl Harbor, for one! All just sitting there in the desert sand. What an awesome sight! I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to tour this boneyard. Many thanks to the owner and his caretaker! I LOVE YOU! BIG SMILE!!!
