Plane Wrecks Journey Progress

Hello all, I wanted to come on here today to tell you about all the plane wrecks I have found. I am not giving out coordinates to respect these sites. It all started on Kaaterskill High Peak when I went to the upper crash below the summit, My first wreck ever and I was mind blown with the amount of debris and the state of the plane. My second wreck was the wings on North mt, These were tricky to find but really cool to see in such a popular place right by the trail. My third wreck was Stoppel Point and I could not believe that all these years it was still right on the trail and mostly intact. My fourth wreck was on South mt and it was the trickiest one to find at the time, it was in a bunch of mountain laurel and i spent a good 10 minutes looking for cause i had the wrong coordinates, The fifth wreck was a bit more unknown, The plane on silver hollow notch mt, it was a brutal bushwhack and was freezing cold, lots of debris and found my first engine. My 6th plane wreck was the jet on Van Wyck and it was so cool, fuel engines all over and the engine attatched to the plane was really cool. The 7th plane was the second plane on Van Wyck, this was very eerie seeing as it had a plaque and one of the shoes from the passengers, lots of debris over a large area. The last plane I have found so far is the one on Bangle hill and it was really tough to get too, The plane is not far from the trail and its mostly intact with a small debris field, suprised all passengers survived that one but the plane was in really good shape. Over time I am going to continue my hunt for planes in the catskills and surronding areas, I have a lot of fun searching and researching them, Thanks to all the people who have graciously given me coordinates and sites to help with locating the planes and a big thank you to the Catskill community.
