When I was a kid growing up in Corsicana I remember my folks pointing out to me an old plane fuselage across a field and behind the treeline just north of town.
IIRC, it was located here:
https://maps.google.com/maps?q=corsicana,+tx&hl=en&ll=32.172834,-96.461978&spn=0.014203,0.01929&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=53.829089,79.013672&t=h&hnear=Corsicana,+Navarro,+Texas&z=16
Supposedly it was a plane highjacked out of Dallas that crash landed there. I'm guessing this would have at least been in the mid 70s if not earlier than that. I always looked for it when we were headed north on 45, and depending on whether or not the trees had leaves you could kind of see it in the distance. I think at some point in time they finally scrapped the fuselage. Obviously there is no wreckage in the aerial shot.
Reading this article this morning reminded me of it. Googling around I can't seem to find anything about it.
Can anyone (Bop?) provide any insight or is this just a figment of an 8 year old's imagination?
