That is pretty wild! I love finding old abandoned places, especially with planes!

Well looks like there are at least 3 different RC-45J's. One has 034 on the nose, another 385, and the third isn't numbered. The only other numbers I could make out are 1C211 or 10211 and 1C238 or 10238. Also one says "TRAINER BUILT 1944" Couple other non-warbird's: N1555Z & N663V. Anybody have additional info? -Todd

Looks like an Air Tractor (probably actually a "Thrush Commander" given its age).

And there are so many planes and things out there... we literally lost count of the numerous and rather spooky empty old shells of planes and helicopters and motor homes and stuff that were scattered all over the place. This one plane was really eerie for some reason... it was sitting there, mostly-intact among the creeping weeds... you could nearly picture a ghostly pilot sitting in the cockpit, and for a further creepy touch there appeared to be a bullet-hole in the windshield. Yet that was just one among the many, many other rusting and decaying old metallic exoskeletons. It was literally a graveyard of primordial machinery.
Oh brother...

We are getting a lShady
*the following posted here by a friend of Shady's with her permission*
On the night of March 16, Shady was found in a critical condition after an attempt at taking her life. EMS was called and Shady was rushed to the ER, where she spent the night in the hospital until she was stabilized. Once out of physical danger, she was admitted to the Psychiatric Center. When a person actually goes through with attempting to end their own life, they are automatically committed to the psychiatric hospital and then held there until they are no longer considered a danger to themselves. This is what happened in Shady's case.
When admitted to the hospital, Shady was dehydrated, malnourished, and nearly unable to function due to lack of sleep. She was also found to have dangerously abnormal potassium, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels. This- in combination with the chronic illness she suffers from (Stein-Levanthal Syndrome), her long-term major depression, her inability to get medication and the emotional trauma of the last year- led to a breakdown. When Shady was abruptly abandoned without warning last year, she was left very suddenly with no home, savings, finances or support- including no way to procure any medical help. With no way to get her needed medications, her depression, desperation, and state of mind grew worse and worse. She spent the last year trying to go through dozens of different public and government channels for people in her situation but was unable to receive any help.
Though the experience leading up to it was very difficult, the opportunity to finally be admitted to and closely treated at such a good hospital was a major second chance at life for Shady.
As soon as her hospital stay began, she started recovering physically and mentally at an encouraging rate. She was able to finally be treated for her chronic illness as well as to get the medications she has needed for so long. The change is absolutely unbelievable- Shady is like a whole new (happier, healthier) girl. Physically, she is in better shape than she has been for maybe the last 10 years. The great doctors, RN's, techs, and everybody else at the hospital took excellent care of her, and worked hard to help her gain back her health for the first time in a decade- they have the complete, sincere thanks of Shady and her friends & family. Thomason- you guys got a lotta good people working there, thank you all.
Shady has recently been released from the hospital and she's now doing very well, and cannot wait to reconnect with the Internet and all of her much-missed friends out there in the world. We decided to post this info officially, as there are a few people out there who already knew about it and we wanted to address it because we know some othersittle off topic; but since her photo is here!
