Dennis Newell took these photos in 11/05 from his C-172 taxiing at the Salinas, CA airport. I think this maybe Caribou (C/N # 23) on the ramp. It has been there for several years. |

Dennis flew over to
Salinas Ca. (KSNS) on 6-13-06 to once again visit the derelict
Caribou there. Dennis was able to confirm it was # 107 not
#23. Based on the earlier Canadian registration CGVGW on the
left underwing. He was unable to open the access doors, they
are literally rotted closed. The interior of the aircraft is
filled with the flaps and sheet metal parts. He has never seen
a more completely corroded airframe. In some places the
corrosion holes are several feet long. (Dennis Newell)

Dennis knew he had seen this Caribou in his earlier days at Salinas and finally found a photo he took at least 15 years ago. So this matches well with the paint scheme you see on her today and she is indeed C-GVGW #107 and not 23.. (Dennis Newell) |
