OLD PLANE CRASH

[img]http://[/img] In the mid '60's we were cruising south from Puerto Penasco in my brothers converted navy patrol boat and we came across this old airplane crash on a deserted island. I think it was Pato Island, just south of Tiburon. Pictured is my brother Patrick on left and Charlie McCarver on right.

Vince...that plane wreck reminds of Johnny Tequila crash-landing on one of the islands near Bahia de Los Angeles. It was right around 1982 or so, I believe. He was joined by Killer Caine to salvage the Cessna 172 and boat haul back to the highway.

This is a typical C 172, not JT's.

OK, here is the stern half of the converted navy boat. They bought it in San Diego, hauled it to Phoenix, converted it there and put it on a semi tractor and hauled it to Puerto Penasco. It has a GMC 670 diesel, about 35 feet long and he still owns it. Keeps it at the marina in San Carlos. A great dive/fish boat, very slow but steady. The photo is on the same trip in Santa Rosalia, we are partying with a bunch of engineers that work there in the mine. I agree, that old plane wreck is probably a Cessna 172, Roger.
