Banished to a decrepit corner of this former AFB, this BAC 1-11 isn't going anywhere with its engines stripped. Still owned by Sky King, it sits parked next to a company 737-200. Built in 1966, over the years it has been registered as N5031, N111FL, N5LC, and N401SK(where it served as Bon Jovi's tour plane). Not sure how long its been here, but it was here on my first flight to MER in 2008. These things were once a common sight in the area when Pacific Express was around in the 80s. First shot in the DB.
