What is this partially disassembled aircraft in the desert? I found this plane on Google Earth. I'm guessing it is being deconstructed, as there are no factories nearby. What countries could it have originated from?



The coordinates are 35°54'10.9"N, 117°43'51.6"W. Here's the location on Google Maps.

The plane is about 41 feet long, and seems to have had a wingspan of about 30 feet.

Also, if it is possible, what kinds of planes could this be?

Sorry if this question is not really possible to answer. I'm a complete beginner at aircraft.
So, you found what looks like an F-8 missing a wing in the middle of the USN's Air Warfare Center at China Lake.

It resembles the F-8 a lot:

As @Andrew said in a comment, the plane might be an F-11 which has a little closer resemblance to your picture.
