Recorded as the second fatal Army Air Corps flying accident in the State of Colorado following Pearl Harbor, this was only the third F-4 variant (52nd out of 420 total P-38 models) lost to a fatal training accident in the United States. While it's been more than 66 years, this is probably the most preeminent crash site in Colorado, thanks to private ownership of the land upon which it has rested since 1942. Whereas little remains to be salvaged at this site, it does offer an incredible learning experience for those interested in the scientific discipline of aviation archaeology. AvAr will continue to post updates concerning this site in the future. If you'd like to volunteer some time surveying this important site, please contact Brian Richardson at aviator_b@msn.com or 970-405-5377.
