Angel's Ladies Brothel & Airplane

North of Beatty, NV is a defunct brothel with the wreck of a twin engine airplane beside it...



In what must have seemed like a good idea at the time, the owners of the establishment promoted an interesting challenge with a very naughty prize. A mattress would be placed in the center of a large star painted on the desert floor - if one were to parachute out of an airplane (airplane provided) and land on the mattress, they would be the lucky winner of a night with the lady of his choice on the house!

Unsurprisingly, things went horribly wrong. Long story short, scantily-clad women plus distracted, inexperienced pilot plus heavy cross winds equal the plane plummeting straight into the ground. Luckily, no one was hurt in the accident and the clever owners decided that the wreck was enough of a spectacle to attract people from the road, so there it stayed.
