Mexicali Discovery Crash Airplane


What happened to the discovery plane just outside of Mexicali? Up until a couple months ago, most of the plane was there, including the entire fuselage, wings, and c-ckpit section. We just passed by the other day and it's like the thing was pillaged or something. There's only like a 20' section of fuselage floor and some stringers, there's graffiti all over it, and the fence has been compromised. Bummer, was always fun to see driving by.

Scrap metal is worth $. Considering you can put almost any stuff, working or not, out by the curb in Mexico and it'll be gone within the day, I'm not surprised that something unguarded by anything more than a fence, would be pillaged.
