It struck me overnight that it is unusual that one ski area is the home of two airplane crashes, but Jay does stick up well above the surrounding terrain, so like moths to a flame applies, I guess.

I have been to the site of two other "famous" crashes in the mountains. One was the WW2 bomber wreckage near the top of Camel's Hump - my mother had a small piece of that plane in her stamp collection, but I don't know where it wandered off to. The other is the airplane monument on Mt. Cuyamaca, where the engine block of the crashed plane has been set in concrete.

I also remember the day at Mammoth when we were looking down from the top ridge on a Navy F-8 that was circling the peak for a close-up view. My unwarranted assumption was that the pilot was flying from China Lake NAS and was a skier.
