This plane crashed on the outskirts of the base runway and it is unsure if it was shot down while trying to either take off or land. It has been here for quite a while and no one knows when this incident occurred. It has been picked over pretty well by souvenir hunters so there isn't much to go on to determine the plane's make and model. Since the exact date is unknown, I picked a date in order to satisfy the entry menu.
