Jump to postAt Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico, there are the remains of a B-24 which crashed there in 1942. I think there's a wing left in the side of a mountain.

Jump to postI only suggested 737MAX because the 787 seems too big. Also I wasn't sure if the CEO meant a new build or just new to La Compagnie. If they're buying used I agree it would be a low cycle 767 or 757.
