Derelict airplanes


When I was a kid growing up in west Texas back in the '50's, I'd often see something like this as we drove past little county airports. I mean, every little county airport seemed to have several old airplanes sitting out behind a hangar apparently ignored by everyone except a little boy riding in the back seat of his parents' car.

I remember thinking that whoever owned them would be happy for me to tow them off for free, and I could keep them safe from the elements until someday when I was grown up and could fix them up and fly them.

This picture from Yugoslavia reminded me of that childhood dream.
