Agent 001?
Bane did it
Pack it in, pack it out.
Did the pilot eat fish?
And asked if this was “over Death Valley”
did someone say “I’ll never be over Death Valley.”
If it’s incredible why should I believe it?
Top pick. Looks like another 200’ it would have cleared that peak.
Wonder where the wings and front half ended up?
Did I miss the persons names and/ or deaths?

Very interesting...I was going to say “out of Edwards AFB” no doubt and then I did what FReepers don’t usually do, I read the whole article.
Panamint Valley - was where Manson took his gang before they ended up back where he was finally arrested - a movie location in Chatsworth, CA if I remember right. A long time ago but I think I’m recalling it right...
This is some story - thanks for posting. Spent a lot of time at my husband’s folks place out in the Mojave Desert 20 miles east of Lancaster after they left the big city (L.A.) for peace and quiet after retirement. So secluded, you could sit on the front porch and someone would say, “didn’t that car go by here yesterday at this same time?” We went there for the peace and quiet from OC...
Their place was set on a high plateau and we could go out further and watch the Space Shuttle land...went out one evening for a night landing but couldn’t see much and it was mighty uncomfortable with whatever creatures were crawling around who liked to announce their presence with rattles! The paved road was warmth to them.

On Ft Irwin near Barstow, I found a projectile about 4ft tall standing perfectly on its base in the middle of the desert. No idea what it was
Lots of pictures of the wreck at this link... https://joeidoni.smugmug.com/Aircraft-Crash-Sites/Panamint-Range-SA-16-Albatross/i-kSwg74v
