On December 11th, 1953, a military crew was in flight from Carswell Air Force Base to Biggs Army Airfield when inclement weather struck, causing the pilot to crash into the western side of the Franklin Mountains. All nine people on board were killed. Although the site was initially cleaned up, much of the debris was put back in place as a memorial, and can be viewed from above on the Ranger Peak Trail.

This is a pretty cool overlook of an old bomber plane (one of the largest in the world) that crashed down in the Franklin Mountains in 1953. A lot of the pieces of the crash have been placed back as a memorial and historical marker, but the wreckage was first cleaned up after the incident. You can view the crash site from the spot on the trail.
