A partial view of the location. It's an old irrigation pond, though no one has seen water in it, except during a downpour, for the last 40 years.

And though it's hard to do, there are things you really should avoid crashing your plane in. Mike tells of the time he watched a guy crash a 13' wingspan Corsair into these. There was no question of leaving the plane behind, because at that scale, you've got several thousand sunk into it. The bees were upset. Retrieval was not fun.
