gled metal and boxes of charred de
bris ate spread across eight acres,
tombstones to tragedy lined up
neatly in rows.
They all have stories to tell, Paul
Camp will tell you, tales of human
error or human fate. The grounds
are filled with carcasses of aviation
disasters past, like the one that killed
singer Ricky Nelson on New Year’s
Eve.
Camp’s Air Salvage of Dallas Inc.
is the graveyard for wreckage from
most airplane crashes in the South
west, a cemetery complete with
.workshops, conference rooms and a
hangar for federal investigators,
lawyers and air safety experts.
While lawsuits creep through the
courts. Camp collects storage fees
for the wrecks.
Last year, the worst year for avi
ation disasters in the United States,
was the company’s best ever. Camp
and his crews cleaned up 111 crashes
— nearly double the 63 of 1984.
Row 7 is home to the compacted
remains of the Cessna 210 that
crashed in 1982 with evangelist Les
ter Roloff and four others on board.
Tattered, dirty gray reprints of a Ro
loff sermon titled “S.O.S.” are still
scattered about the tail section.
Row 9 contains seven boxes of
scraps, a pile of sheet metal, a tail
section, two badly burned engines
and a charred fire extinguisher — all
that remains of the DC-3 that caught
fire and crashed with Nelson and six
others on board.
Between the two is the grave of a
small plane in which a family of four
died in San Antonio. Among the
twisted metal and deflated wheels is
a tattered toilet kit.
“It’s all here,” Camp said as he
scanned his museum to tragedy.
White flight maps with singed
edges blow across the grass. In his
hanger, one wall is covered to the
ceiling with engines involved in
court cases. And inside, a wall cal
endar shows when investigators will
be by to examine wreckage.
Photo albums and framed pic
tures of air disasters line his office
walls, testimonials to some of the
toughest salvage jobs he’s under
taken, like moving the tail section of
the Delta Air Lines L-1011 that
crashed in a thunderstorm last Au-
guest, killing 137 people, or pulling Li^rcK
a Cessna out of a I.ouisiana canal the I IvJlol I Ixt^CJMIy
pilot mistook for a concrete runway.
A couple of landscape-minded
sheep tend the field where 89 wrecks
lie much as they did when they
crashed. Insurance companies and
investigators insist nothing be
changed. Most stay about three
years, although one has been in the
yard seven years, and Camp won’t
say what he is paid for storage.

not as good because no one was quite
as sue-happy,” Camp said. “Now
they always sue, and the courts say
we have to keep it.”
A 52-year-old former flight in
structor and airport manager who
decided in 1974 he could make more
money in aircraft salvage. Camp has
handled 665 crashes.
He can walk past each heap and
recite an epitaph: “This guy had a
carburetor problem and ended up
upside down in a wheat field” or
“this fellow mistook a street for a
runway.
Despite some graveyard humor
and the company’s cartoon logo of a
plane planted in the ground nose-
first, flying is serious business to
Camp. He invites flight school
classes to visit his salvage yard to see
what happens when something goes
wrong.
“The instructors try to impress
upon them that if they don’t do the
little things, this is what happens,”
he said.
Camp keeps only smaller planes
on his lot south of Dallas. The tail
section of Delta’s jumbo jet and 14
truck-sized containers filled with
crash debris were moved to a rural
salvage yard, where a barn was built
over the wreckage for its passage
through litigation.
Not all clean-ups go as smoothly.
Camp said his crews sometimes
come across body parts in the wreck
age. Once workers recovered a plane
that had been missing for several
