Dassault Mirage II, France
This Dassault Mirage II was abandoned at Châteaudun Air Base, a French aircraft storage facility. For the most part, in aircraft boneyards we have come across, the planes are usually in an upright position. They may not be in an orderly manner, but at least you can make your way through without getting confused about what is really going on. However, at this location, the major question might be…who flipped over those aircraft? If you want to see what previous French Air Force planes looked like, then a visit to the Châteaudun boneyard will quench your quest.

F4F-3 Beside The USS Lexington
Here we have an F4F-3 Wildcat, which was discovered close to the USS Lexington – Sunk. The F4F Wildcat became an esteemed fighter of the Navy/Marine Corps until it stopped in 1942. An excerpt from the National Naval Aviation Museum praises the machine. It describes it in this fashion: “It is responsible for downing 1,006 enemy aircraft and has also listed 58 aces among its pilots.” This aircraft did its bit and was successful and effective in all the works it did. Though it is now abandoned, it is very much a rich part of history. We have to give credit to Navigea Ltd. for this photo.
