UER Mobile > Archived US: Pacific Northwest > Abandoned F-15 carcass near Anchorage (Viewed 2917 times)

Vanh    Location: Anchorage Gender: Male  |  |  Abandoned F-15 carcass near Anchorage < on 2/9/2011 3:58 AM >   Was out mapping the back roads of Ft Richardson a few months back for Waze, when I stumbled on a gutted F-15 just chilling in a small clear cut area. I imagine it was put there for some sort of training exercise. I haven't been back recently as my Legacy doesn't do great in deep, unplowed snow. The location is on the military base so access is a little tricky for civilians. I've held off on telling anyone about it as there is enough left to take off of it, and I really hate scavengers. Anyway, here are some pics I took. click to view click to view click to view click to view click to view

Give a person a match and they'll be warm for a minute, but light them on fire and they'll be warm for the rest of their life. =)

I left the L off of html I was about to make a comment on how stupid that website is and how (atleast for here) has nothing but abandoned streets and/or totally not abandoned 'ghost towns'.. although according to the link Alaska is awesome.. edit 1: nevermind... Kennecott looks awesome though.... edit 2: nevermind.. once more upon looking it up its a National Park. stupid website. Cool plane.

Freak         Location: Usually Alaska, now MSP. Gender: Male Hypocrite  |  |  Re: Abandoned F-15 carcass near Anchorage <Reply # 13 on 4/27/2011 6:37 PM >   Yeah, ghosttowns.com is crap. For Alaska, half the towns on the list either never existed or have been reduced to one or two foundations, and the other half are still inhabited tourist traps. They don't list any actual ghost towns with interesting stuff left, like Portage or Cleary. I've said it before, but you can find more ghost towns just by looking over a USGS topo map for townsites and comparing to aerial photos for signs of activity/decay. I reccomend http://mapper.acme.com/ as a pretty good one. If anyone wants suggestions for ACTUAL Alaska ghost towns, I know of a few. Turn off the internet and go play outside. http://spamusement...hp/comics/view/137

I don't have much of a developed eye for such things, but it looks as though these were taken with a pinhole camera? I've no sense, I lick electric fence; I put barbed wire in my pants and do a Celtic dance. - My Canon 300D is beat to hell, a bit finicky, and a 'lil loose, much like everything else I own... http://www.youtube...atch?v=IvN10-n1NBc

Juche     Location: Lincoln, NE Gender: Male  |  |  Re: Abandoned F-15 carcass near Anchorage <Reply # 15 on 4/29/2011 7:54 PM >   This plane and related clearing look as if they were set up for an aerial attack target practice. Any comment on the evidence supporting or busting that hypothesis?

Kennecott looks awesome though.... edit 2: nevermind.. once more upon looking it up its a National Park. stupid website. Kennecott is awesome, national park or no. Go on a crappy day and it'll likely be tourist-free. However, this is likely to change if the rumors are true that a proper bridge will be built to let vehicles cross into McCarthy and a tourist resort is built in town. The entire character of that area will change completely and irrevocably.

It's a shame too, as the stuff around here can be boring. They call me the seeker, and I've been searching low and high. - The Who

With the way the Air Force works, they probably forgot it was there. It was probably cannibalized for all of its parts after it failed a depot or phased inspection for frame damage. The cold up there does some serious damage to the strength of the frames. That and corrosion probably runs rampant up there. Cool find though. Pork Eating Crusader!
