You really hit on a major problem with the "parked plane" or "fire training" ideas: no sign of the plane having been dragged out of there. Even if it was a long time ago, the vegetation would not have been scraped off and then grown back so perfectly. That sandy environment is probably very fragile, as other deserts are, so most likely the scrape-marks or towing trail would still show. Even if covered by blowing sand, trails would still stand out against the vegetation. I was also trying to compare the real planes with the outline, but couldn't decide if they were the same. I'm glad you confirmed they are. So...unless they used a mega-crane to lift that plane up and out of there, I'm still going with Felippo on this. Mostly because I like the idea - but also because I think the outline is too perfect to be anything but intentional. I'm not saying I can really imagine a bunch of logical military or airline guys building this landscape for fun. I just think if that phantom plane had either served some purpose or been there for a long time, the outline would be less symetrical and tidy than it is. Maybe. We can only hope someone down there reads this thread and sets us straight!
