I'm a newbie here, and in addition to turning wrenches and raising hell with cars, I belong to Project Remembrance/Aircraftwrecks.com
Over ten years ago some people on this forum who were at Bonneville Raceway found wreckage of a North American F-86 jet fighter near the frontage road north of I-80 by the Bonneville Raceway exit. The dog tags of Capt. Vanley Johnson were found and returned to his family. This last January I found wreckage from ANOTHER F-86, flown by Col. Henry Norman, on the south side of I-80 near Wendover, UT.
Question for all the Bonneville Raceway experts out there: Does anyone know anything about additional aircraft wreckage west of Bend in the Road near the raceway? I've heard rumors about this, and after an internet search found there was an F-16 from Hill AFB in Utah that crashed in that area in the 1990s.
Thanks,
Mac
