18 April 2004, East of Edwards AFB, CA: Unable to do any astronomy, we worked our fallback hobby, aviation archeology. Perhaps 20 miles northeast of the Edwards runways is a JF-104 crash site from 1957. We dropped the Puck near the highway and headed across the desert, under railroad tracks and wash culverts, until near the target we spotted the telltale riveted aluminum shards.
