Airplane Junk

Here is another random photo I had on my telephone.  This is a picture of a piece of airplane scrap that Grandpa had in his front yard.

The story goes that at some point in the past, this plane went down near Plain City.  I want to say the early 1960’s.  Grandpa picked up this scrap and kept it in his front yard since.  Not sure if the scrap landed near his home, I want to say I heard both variations on the story.   Grandpa has a copy of the newspaper article related to the crash.  If I come across the article as I scan things in the future, I will make it available.

Dad gave me this update, 28 August 2020, Grandpa and Mike Pananzio became good friends.  The plane went down near the Plain City Cemetery.  Grandpa was helping Mike till or work in his garden when they came upon this scrap from the airplane wreckage.  Grandpa kept it after finding it in the Pananzio garden.  I have the newspaper article now, I will type it up and make it available.
