The woods give up another secret. Found by loggers in the Tillamook area this week. I am curious to find out the story on this particular flight.

One thing I am curious about, the 2nd growth hemlock trees in the picture look a lot younger then the plane crash. Was the wreckage left in place years ago,and now it was "re-discovered?"
