Does anyone know the location of the crash site where this plane went in?

I'm not sure anyone knows if it even crashed. It disappeared from view after about 1977. No hard information after that...just speculation.

Yep, I've also "heard" that but try to nail it down. No crash reports, no operating reports, no photos, no registration information, no reported sightings, and the guys who specialize a bit in Latin American aviation also come up empty handed.

Catching up the budget can only accommodate 22 of the flyable B 17 -25 Mitchell, and the acquisition of Hulk can not fly another in Mexico, barely made the cruise and the landing gear can be reduced to Guaymas , Sonora, Mexico Shooting location to be burned and destroyed in a crash landing. The remains were buried in the ground beside the runway, it remains to this day.
