I was told about this site from a friend who found it while searching for old mines in the area. Have no info on when it crashed or it's serial number. Only know that it's a F9F-6K Drone that must have come from the China Lake Naval Weapons Center that's in the area.
Driving down the road towards Ballarat off the Trona-Wildrose Road. The building on the left is a radar station.
Picked this spot to start hiking from, wasn't sure I had the right place.
After hiking for awile, I came upon a lot of old cans.
Close by was a pile of aircraft pieces that someone gathered up.
Looking around started finding a lot of pieces in the area mixed in with the rusty cans.
This looks like it may be a piece of the canopy frame.
Piece from the instrument panel.
Finding more stuff as I head for the canyon.
I got up on a ridge beside the canyon. Found some pieces from the plane up here.
