godfrog 2 #1 February 23, 2006 I was driving down the highway near Beatty Nev. when I spot this crashed Beech sitting alongside the road on the property of a brothel with yolo dz painted on the tail. The lady said there used to be an airstrip there, anybody know any history on this plane or the yolo dz.Experience is a difficult teacher, she gives you the test first and the lesson afterward Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 259 #2 February 23, 2006 I know nothing about the aircraft but AFAIK the Yolo DZ was at the Yolo County Airport outside Davis, California (current home of Skydance Skydiving). I could be wrong, of course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ldk 2 #4 February 2, 2014 The owner was a good friend. I jumped from that plane at Calistoga, Yolo and Pope Valley. It was the primary asset in night time "Mile High Patch" operation when it crashed on landing. I wasn't part of that group, but if my memory serves me...everyone walked back to the house where Ground Zero patches where earned as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
