Remarks: Heading over to the general aviation side of the airport you pass by the island's junk/scrap yards. I've gone this way a hundred times, but this time something caught my eye. I made a quick u-turn to check it out and what a surprise. The fuselage of one of Air Aruba's DC-9s was parked in what looked like someone's backyard. Resting on what's left of her landing gear. Just the fuselage remains. I thought by now she was long gone, but someone has saved a little bit of her.
