I went to visit a Buddy of mine that I’ve known since Kindergarten (were 67 now)
Anyway he just moved to Fallon Nevada from Ca. Theses are some of the things we saw
The plane had crashed a couple days ago and FFA just hasn’t hauled it off yet. You’d think it would be fenced off
I love the “Open Range” and the BB mail box

That plane looks to be in pretty good shape for 2 fatalities.

My brother in law was killed last year when he crashed his plane. But it caught on fire after it hit a tree upon takeoff. They said it was overloaded. My brother in law was a shady guy. He always had money and never had a job. I can't imagine what his plane in the middle of nowhere was loaded up with. Yeah right.

You can't go to Fallon without visiting the famous Shoe Tree.

I’ll have to ask my buddy why we didn’t get to see that.

Glad to hear that no one was badly injured.

Probably why they just left the plane there. It's the insurance company's problem now. And I'd guess that's going to be one expensive claim.

I have a buddy that's a pilot and he whacked a tree once. The only injury was to his pride. But he had a sense of humor about it. He kept the broken propeller hung up behind his desk with a tree branch in it.

Fallon is a nice place and has a pretty mild climate too. For a time back in the day I worked at a place called Sprouse. Got to wear a tie, convenient because the women were so pretty. I remember one gal most, she looked like Rachel McAdams or so, if I wasn't already married

Considering the Hot/Crazy matrix, she wasn't even that crazy, yet.
