The yarn about the downed corsair on the top of what Gringo pilots call flattop is an urban ledgend. I searched for it for years. If it was ever there, it's gone now

I do have the GPS of the plane wreck on the slope of Cerro la Gobernadora, between Calamajue and Punta Prieta (just NE of El Crucero). Bill B hiked up to it a few months ago, while he was searching for an acess to the Salsipuedes canyon. Another plane wreck is on the north dry lake (Laguna Seca), NW of Bahia de L.A. (I have that GPS as well).
