Mystery of fighter jets abandoned 




The ongoing revelation of three old Navy and Marine warplanes in a field in Temple made a significant blend in the course of recent days, however the warriors have been there over 20 years and how they arrived is no mystery, by any stretch of the imagination. 

The Department of Defense says they ought to have been disassembled and reused years back yet that simply didn't occur. 

So how could they wound up in the field, and who put them there? 

The "who" is David C. Nemen (or Neman, or Neiman, contingent on which office is announcing, yet the FBI calls him Nemen), the previous proprietor of Temple Iron and Metal, a privately-owned company begun by his dad in 1946, who organized to have the planes moved by truck to Temple after he was granted an administration contract to destroy and reuse the old feathered creatures. 

Nemen sold the business to Billy and Jessica Bachmayer in 2003 and the couple works the business today. 

Bachmayer said in an ongoing phone meet the entire thing and all the consideration it created is wearing on his amiable attitude. 

"You wouldn't trust how hard it is managing the majority of this," he said.

"The present Temple Iron and Metal had nothing to do with this." 

The two Navy F-14 Tomcats and one Marine McDonnell F-4 Phantom II, show F-4B-22-MC last were formally relegated to Naval Air Station Dallas, a base which was decommissioned in December 1998 after in a base decrease and combination move. 

Nemen, a Navy Reserve veteran, was alloted to that station. 

At the season of decommissioning at NASD, Nemen possessed the property involved by Temple Iron and Metal, and a contiguous property over the Union Pacific rail line upper east of downtown. 

The Phantom II, airframe enlistment number 152267, is a similar plane that filled in as a landmark at the door of the base, as per explore finished with the Department of the Navy. 

The Tomcats were thought to have flown in the Gulf War yet finding their history is a bit dicier. 

Jim Hodgson, chief of Fort Worth's Aviation Museum, is exceptionally comfortable with the planes' accounts and he said exhibition hall staff members have realized they existed for quite a while. 

He has visited the remainders of the planes says they've been there for quite a while given the measure of the trees that became through their aluminum structure and different other airframe segments scattered around.

Abandoned Hotel in Switzerland Hotel Belvédère, a hotel in the Furka Pass of the Swiss Alps, was once the perfect spot for travelers looking to explore the Rhône Glacier.
