XB-70 honeycomb found at the Walker site. A third, smaller site also exists, and this is where the F-104's nose cone fell to Earth. The cockpit and tail sections are surprisingly close together - within several hundred yards of each other. Like the XB-70 crash site, a memorial cross has been erected at the site of the cockpit section. There is very little evidence of fire, with melted pieces of relative rarity.
Pieces showing zinc chromate paint are in abundance.
The translucent yellow artifacts were originally the laminating adhesive between two layers of plexiglass. Oxidation of the adhesive has set in at the edges of the panel. The rear sections of the canopy were thick, solid plexi, and do not show this effect. As might be expected, the ground at the tail section impact site is littered with melted aluminum. Some tubing and other metal fragments can be found, but generally the artifacts are very uniform in type.
