94- Ghost town

Very interesting, Mr. Jose....But, why? :? :think: Ghost town, Mr. Bob,...
In the past, such towns often called boomtowns were settled and quickly came to life when mines or mills were built to harness natural resources,
such as gold or coal. When all the resources were taken, the workers often moved on to another town to pursue similar work, leaving the once-busy boomtown nothing but a shell of its former self.
:? I was though there is just...., you know living there. Well, that too, if you believed ghost..... :? :lol: :lol:

The people of Darwin, CA (population 35) coexist without government, a church, jobs or children.
Together with their fellow outsiders and eccentrics, they enjoy the freedom of isolation in California's Death Valley.

pilotwin7: that is still one of my favorite planes to fly. Has any military ever used this ac? I have never heard of this ac. I think I read some where it was a kit plane?

The Darwin story!

Fascinating. Many thanks! I have saved the You-Tube film, to watch the whole of it!

You've certainly got to visit the "Wild West" to meet the most unusual folks!... :o ....!

Which is what has always attracted me to the place, since my first flights in Looking Glass Studio's "Flight Unlimited II", followed closely by FS'98, and onwards!

All those wild, desert areas have a magic for me, for Sim Flying, and Motorcycle Tours!... :D ...!

A time and a place, full of history, which has always remained in the distant past!

Paul...always exploring!.... :mrgreen: ...!

Mr. Roypcox, Thank you for asking. I really don't know, :doh: It's very little info. about this (AC) :think:

Mr. wahubna he might be right. He's had knowledge about kit plane.
