Copied in part from WIX. See a 1997 photo by Paul Cotrufo of a Grumman F-11 Tiger (BuNo. 138639), which sits where it was dropped in the woods one mile west-southwest of Oak Grove North Carolina. His explanation about the Tiger: "It was being airlifted to a museum in SC and something went wrong with the helicopter and they dropped the plane to keep from crashing. To all wreck chasers in the area. you better act quick, there is talk about another recovery attempt Attached Images:

I hope the helicopter made it back OK. I was in a Huey flying next to a Skycrane when they punched off a DC-3, what a sight that was, amazingly didnt hurt the plane much, just the tailcone. It was only 40 or 50 feet in the air. I even caught it on video, but immediatly erased it for fear it might fall into the wrong hands. I kinda wish I had not erased it now. Oh well...
