so the plane was obviously removed -
does anybody know how far away "Kramer`s Junction/Four Corners, CA"
is from lake loreen ?

Planes can fly, you know.... :) Kramer's Junction looks about 300 miles Northwest of Newberry Springs. The story of that development reminds me of the Salton Sea....desert Shangri La dreams....

.....Wow, I can't post fast enough for the findings pouring in here:

This was shot at a dirt airstrip in the California Mojave Desert, at a crossroads called Four Corners in August, 1973.

So did it really END UP there...the first shot at Kramers/Four Corners was in '71, that is only two years after they were working on the development down in Newberry Springs! Did they run out of money, and the plane was re-posessed? Or was Four Corners just one of the plane's regular Ports of Call?

Earlier I noticed the letters "POLY..." on the plane tail fins...

...and now we can see the whole plane! But it looks like the rudder was painted over on the bottom...
